My Fender has no shielding & buzzed rather badly until I replaced the single coil with a Fralin split coil pickup. My squire has the paint shielding & still uses the stock single coil & has a slight buzz at times. You have to keep contact with the strings to keep the 60cycle to a minimum on these.
The Bartolinis are humbuckers so they are pretty much inherently quiet compared to single coils.
