Bridge pup buzz - problem from pickups or preamp?

well, i don't know exactly which category to post this question (eg "basses", "pickups and electronics" etc.) but I posted it here. I'm interested in buying a Harley Benton PJ5, but I guess the bass itself isn't very important. I've listened to some audio samples on youtube and some one of them had a bridge pickup "bzzzzzz" and I was wondering if the problem is pickup's or preamp's.
