Are Model J pickups not available separately anymore?

Do they nit sell Model J pickups separately anymore? The only thing I can seem to find is either a Model P/J set or a Model J set. I'm looking to just switch out my bridge pickup and hoped to put a Model J in it. I could get the P/J set but I'm happy with the stock P that's in it. Anybody know where I might find just the bridge one?
 
I purchased a lone DiMarzio Model J for the bridge position earlier this year. (spring?) The part number is as follows:

DP123LBK - for a black bridge pickup

In the event that your bridge jazz pickup is actually a neck pickup size, here's the part number for a Model J neck pickup:

DP123SBK - for a black neck pickup

These pickups are also available in a cream color, however I haven't been able to find anything online where they're available individually in that color, but you would substitute "CR" for "BK" in the part number from what I can tell. Don't quote me on that though.

Here's a site that sells them individually and in sets...

I don't endorse the site, I'm just trying to help out.

You could also inquire directly with DiMarzio via email or maybe even phone them. Here's their contact page.

Again, I don't work for DiMarzio either.

I hope this helps.

Cheers!
 
they certainly sell the ultra jazz and the area J singly. (and one of those might be the better choice to pair with a regular P pickup. the model J is fine, but a little dated.)
