MEC pup - one white wire and some braid ?

Just about to slot a pair of the passive MEC ( humbucker size ) pups into my bass, but they have the least amount of wires on a humbucker i've ever seen

One white wire surrounded by some braiding . White is hot and braid is ground, presumably ?

Seems weird for a humbucker. Of all the hummies i've ever owned, there's always been a pair that needs twisting together ( presumably for series output ? ) plus one hot and one ground

Unless of course, despite looking like , and the size of a humbucker, its just a single coil ?

arggg...

Warwick describe the Streamer standard pickups as vintage style humbuckers.
I would think that you are correct with white hot braid ground, this is how it is on MEC passive J pickups.
This is the wiring schematic
