Output Impedence of Pickups

I am a first time user and have a question.
In general, what is Z out for single coil and humbucker. pickups. I don't need exact values just a rough ballpark. Any help would be greatly appreciated

It depends on where the volume pot is set, at full volume it should be the pickup + the value of the pot, at minimum volume it should be the pickup Z.

If my electronics knowledge isnt failing me, generally somewhere between 5kohms and 250Kohms for SCs and between 7 kohms and 500Kohms for humbuckers, depending on exact pots, pot settings and pickup(s).
