They’re just not very good quality, unfortunately - they’ve always been the weak point of the otherwise excellent Pacificas on all bar the high-end models which I think come with Duncans. Almost any decent pickups will be an improvement - most of the good makers do vintage-style low-output ones now. I would go for a set from the same maker, that seems to give a more consistent result than mixing and matching, to me.

I've always found that with those ceramic-magnet-on-the-bottom type - they can sound not bad overall, but there's always something a bit rough in the top-end, where proper rod-magnet pickups sound clear and clean. The ceramics seem to lack the deep bass of the rod-magnet ones too. The higher-wound ones somehow manage to sound muddy *and* harsh at the same time!
