Yes, the shielding reduced the noise, but it didn't eliminate it completely because the original bridge pickup was a very noisy single-coil pickup. The Bartolini is noiseless, no hiss at all

The Bartolini pickups delivered a smoother sound, richness, definition, and clarity. Both pickups are noiseless, and along with Alpha Korea potentiometers and new wiring, there's no hiss.

And finally, the last chapter of the upgrades I've done Now, my Pistachio TMB35 has Bartolini pickups Bartolini 58CPB P-Bass, 5-String, Classic Bass, Thick Tone, Split Coil Pair https://bartolini.net/product/58cpb/ Bartolini 59CBJD-L3 J-Bass, 5-String, Classic Bright Voice, Dual...

Please, what's the diameter of the tuner holes on the miKro GSRM20 4-string bass headstock ?
