Wiring Problems

Hey everyone! I'm new here, and fairly new to bass, but I recently bought a jazz bass, and I'm wiring a mudbucker into the neck position of this. The problem is, I can't find any good diagrams for wiring it. There is only one wire coming out of the pickup, instead of a red wire and a black wire like you would find on a Jazz bass pickup. Does anyone have a wiring scheme lying around, or just a suggestion for what to do?
 
That one wire SHOULD be coaxial with a shield wire (mesh) around a core insulated wire. The shield wire should go to ground and the middle wire should go where the + wire of the old pickup went.
