I have A '99 5 string American Deluxe
Has any one had problems with the low B
poles going dead? Gradually got worse now to the point
of no sound at all. Love the Noiseless and would hate to change em.

How long have you had them? The pickup has not "sunk" on the B side has it? (Adjusted too low)?

If the pickup support system (springs/foam) are old weak sagging, the pickup can "sink" deeper into the body and affect sound quality. Just a thought to check against specs.
Also, it is possible for a magnet to lose magnetism.
Perhaps your local guitar shop can check it.

Just had the pickups checked out and the B string poles are not tapered and actually composed of a different material and have lost there magnatism. Strange???? I guess I'm pickup shoppin!
Thanks for you input.
