but probably needs adjustment - the distance between pole piece and string matters, it's very sensitive
you adjust the distance (by the pickup screws) to balance the volume of the strings
other settings:
if the neck ist too straight, you'll get fretbuzz - release the trussrod (the metal part) inside the neck a tiny bit
if it's bowed too much, playing is uncomfortable (needs too much finger pressure)
turn the other way, but release string tension before doing so
usually 'almost, but not completely straight' is best, unless you play with a lot of (physical) power...
can't identify the bridge on your bass, but usually there is something to adjust individual hight of each string
neck-bow and string height interact, get this right first, then adjust pickups for optimal sound
the splitcoil PU is frequently setup in a way that the inner strings are slightly closer to the pole pieces
reads more complicated than it actually is - a proper setup is the base of good sound

The guy said that this one also has a jazz style pickup, so it allows for more tone variety.
