I recently changed my Squier Precision PJ split-P pickup for a bassy Bill Lawrence PB1. I quickly noticed this specific out phase thin sounding with both pickup full volume so I reverted the wires and got back a thick bassy sound on the two low E and A strings.
To my surprise I got then this out of phase sounding on the G and D strings !
This is much lowered if I slightly reduce one pickup volume, a trick I already applied before my pickup change but the stock Squier more middy hid any phase issue. My jazz bridge pickup is also a humbucker indeed, double jazz sized Fender DeLuxe Precision, with fat sound so any out of phase for such bassy pickups jumps to the ears.
Now I found in some explanation here

and this conclusion :
Our Precision pickup won't pair with most of jazz pickup but those with split P design like a Fender Super 55 for instance !
What´s the tech view on pairing Split-P precision pickup with another one ?
