J noise in PJ setup

Sign in to disble this ad
Should be getting my parts P out of the shop this week, and it's getting routed for a J in the bridge position. I bought some J pickup from an MIM on Ebay to try out, but now I'm thinking I might have made a mistake because of it being a single coil. Is there any way to wire it to where it'll be noiseless like in a Jazz when both pickups are on, or am I going to have to either buy a humbucker or live with it?

just shield it as best you can...

also, if you wire the P/J in series (do the series push-pull pot thing), you won't hear much noise at all in this mode...

but in other modes, yeah, you'll get some noise...

should NOT be an issue live...
