jazz bass pickup recommendations?

[shinobi]

i'm looking to change the stock pickups on my CIJ jazz bass.

the pickups must have a split coil hum-cancelling design instead of the traditional single coil. reason is that i just installed a pretty hot active preamp, and the 60-cycle hum that arises when the pups are soloed can get pretty noticeable on bigger rigs.

my budget is S$200, give or take a little.

prefer to have something that has a somewhat 'glassy' tone with nice harmonic overtones, but just tell me what you like

dimarzio ultra jazz or area Js sound like a good bet

i was just thinking about that. area J is top on my list. ultra jazz looks good too, but output and bass are things i can easily compensate with my preamp eq, so the option of having a traditional tone with the area j seems like a better choice.

i know SV deals with dimarzio, i just wonder if they have bass pups.

barts are tempting, but i dont think they have the tonal characteristics i'm looking for.

aguilar has a new pickup which looks really good. however, they are not humbucking so i'd be taking my chances with the amount of hum.

bass mai hum

I've had really good experience with nordstrand NJ4SVs. They're a bit more expensive than your budget, but once in a while I saw 2nd hand ones go on soft.

the nordys are an easy choice, if i could find a used set of nj4sv's i would swoop on it
