I would suggest: Delano PC5 AL/M2 (split coil) Lollar single coil (60s jazz) Together very warm sound with some added richness. Also can be used solo and J pickup is strong enough for split pickup. Good balance.

Try Delano PC4 AL and Lollar 60’s jazz, it’s warm and clean sounding and output for both pickups is even. Full use to solo either and they also blend perfectly. Pole pieces of both align perfect as well for Sire P7 5-string.

I changed the Sire P7 (5-string) pickups for Delano PC 5 AL/M2 (P pickup) and Lollar 60s (J pickup). Last one is stagged single coil. Excellent combination with strong output and warm/clear sound. In noisy environment you might hear some hum because of the single coil. Lollar J pickup solo'd...
