pickup output problems

[Coltron]

I recently installed a Bill Lawerence L-500 humbucker in the bridge of my les paul copy and the neck pickup (stock) has about 10X the amound of output of the bridge. Is there somewheres where I messed up soldering or something cause this output drop seems too much to just be caused by a lower output pickup

Re: pickup output problems

if you followed the wiring diagrams correctly it should work.
Possibilities can lie in the switch, pots or bad solder joints.

hmmmmmmmm

hmm, did u solder anything to the pots?
coz if u did, and didnt do it properly u might have damaged the pot as well. so do check that as well if it still doesnt work after u redo the soldering.
