That usually indicates a problem with whatever is used, either foam rubber under the pickup or the springs and/or rubber tubing on the screw to maintain pickup height. That was the problem on my '78 P-bass, I had to replace the foam rubber underneath the pickup as the pickup had been screwed down almost flat to the pickguard for years before I got it, and the foam rubber had sort of collapsed and would not support the pickup when I tried to raise it to the proper height.
