Sire P7 J bass bridge pickup noiseless?

I don't think so, perhaps on the P10. My gen 1 P7 it's a single coil. Going noiseless would be the main reason to consider upgrading, imho.

Thanks for your reply! I ordered a replacement pickup that is single coil as well, a Lollar J. To me the Sire J bridge is sounding pretty dead, at least on my 5 string P7 2nd gen. I also own a Sire V7 1st gen 5 string and that bridge pickup sounds good without any hum when soloed even.
On my third Sire V7 fretless 4 string 2nd gen both pickups alone hum like crazy. Even when just panning slightly to one side it starts to hum that is pretty anoying. Maybe Sire uses different ways of doing noise cancelling on their J pickups.
