Question advice for a jazz pickup bridge with fender cs 59

sorry for the title. here's the question: i got a bass p+j 4 strongs that i love for the building and i want to change the the picks up. in the p position i'll Mount a beatiful fender cs 59 and i'm in trouble for the bridge position: i actually have a sbj3 and i'm not sure that this pairing can be good. i play with pick, sometimes with the fingers and i "slap". i'm looking only for passive pickup not active. i don't want to spend too much money and it will not be used alone but as second "tone" for the cs 59 that will be the main pickup used. for the types of music: punk, rock, pop, funky,hardcore. required good output and a good definition. thanx!

You might want to look at this thread, because you've basically got the same issue -
Nordstrand MM4.4 in sweet spot, Big Split in neck position?

Your P pickup is hum-cancelling all by itself, so you're going to want a J pickup that is hum-cancelling as well.

Split-coil designs like Nordstrands NJ4SE and NJ4SV, or any of DiMarzios hum-cancelling J's will get you closest to a true single-coil J sound. Lots of other split coil designs out there, too.

Stacked humbuckers are noticeably less bright, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, especially for a bridge position pickup. Seymour Duncan has a couple of different stacked jazz pickups. Their "Hot Stack" might be a good match for you, since P pickups tend to overpower most J pickups.
