New Bridge Pickup won't work by itself
Posted: Wed Jun 02, 2021 7:07 am
Hey all,
I've got a Squier Classic Vibe 60s Jazzmaster I wanted to mod a bit. I replaced the bridge pickup with a Seymour Duncan JB, and everything's been working perfect. All of a sudden, the bridge pickup is really quiet, to the point my amp at max volume is quieter than what I normally have it at 30% volume.
My original guess was that my first attempt at soldering was bad, but the bridge pickup works at perfect volume when I have it set the the middle position. I tapped every pole piece and got a good loud sound, but as soon as i set it back the the bridge only, it's quiet again.
My only guess now is that the toggle switch could be bad? The neck pickup, in the past, has just cut out if I switch it too fast, so it wouldn't be the first issue with it. I'm pretty new to this, so any suggestions or ideas would be much appreciated
