Getting a popping noise through any amp I use with a brand new mexican.

Assuming it's something to do with the pick ups being too high?

If your strings are actually touching the pickup magnets when you play, that would definitely causing a popping sound. It's more likely, though, that the input jack has become loose and the wires are twisting and coming disconnected inside the bass itself. Check to see if the nut on the outside of the jack is loose, I have seen this happen before.

It's important to say when this pop occurs.

1) when you just touch the strings/bridge
2) when you touch the jack or any other 'supposed-to-be-grounded' part of the bass
3) when you actually fret or strike a note
when you 'dig in'
4) when you change an adjustment
5) when you touch the p'ups(s)

They all represent somewhat different reason why and how the pop can be created/generated.

popping noises? try other bass cords, if that doesn't solve it.. check the pickup string height..
