WTB: passive Jazz Bass bridge pickup

I just got a great deal on a used Jackson MIJ bass. P/J pickup combination.

The P bass pickup works fine but the J bass pickup is dead.

I don't have a lot of money into the bass and I'm looking for a good replacement J bass pickup that I can drop in for cheap. Doesn't have to be a Duncan or Dimarzio. Jackson, Lace Sensor, OBL, Evans - all are fine pickups and I'll consider any of them. Just not the stock pickup out of your old Hondo bass.:9:

Oh and I would prefer it be black, to go with the hardware. If you have a P/J set you'd like to sell, let me know, I may consider dropping in a complete new set.
Let me know what you've got. Thanks!

If you are interested, I have a Carvin H50S that is very sweet sounding. It is a direct replacement for the Jazz bridge position. Stacked humbucker so it is noise free. Carvin sells them for $39.99 + $9.50 shipping. I am asking for $25 + $5 to cover priority mail. It is in mint condition. PM me if you are interested. You can check out the Carvin site, but here is the description:

"This stacked humbucking bass pickup has exceptionally wide tonal range with a full bell tone and a nice extended top end. Bass Player Magazine said "The Carvin LB20 bass had a sweetness not heard in the other basses." The H50S can be used in basses with either passive or active electronics. Designed for 4, 5 and 6 string basses with an effective string spacing width up to 3.2". Replacement for Fender Jazz® bridge position. Dimensions are 3.72" long x .72" wide x .80" high. Available in black only. (18.2k Ohms)"

4 or 5 String?

I have a set of DiMarzio Ultra Jazz 5s that came stock in my Parker (which have been swapped out for some AJB-5s).
