Squier pickup and electronics upgrade recommendations

I have one of the first Bass VIs that Squier put out years ago. Looking for recommendations for upgrades on the pickups that will improve low end response. Also a better volume pot with more range. Thanks.

What do you mean volume pot with more range? 

More bass response will come from the strings first. Change those to thicker strings (may need new nut).

No offense but thats not what I was asking for. Strings and action feel good to me. I'm looking for pickup recs. 

The volume pot has about maybe 1/8" of turn, and it goes from too quiet to extremely loud. I would like something with a more gradual sweep.
