I am very happy with this equipment for the time being.
The five components bass, strings, pickup, amp and player seem to work well together :-)
I am very grateful to Johannes Schaedlich, who coached me in this matter.
Not only is he an extraordinary good bass player (and companion), but also very competent concerning all equipment questions. I recommend his website not only in this respect:
