Fender Original Jazz pup gain problem

[lopesraphael]

Hello! I have installed the Fender Original Jazz pupset and I'm experiencing some gain problems. The bridge pup is interferencing the neck one. I mean, when both are 100% the gain decreases as if there was some sort of compression. When I decrease the bridge pup until 80% the overall gain increases. The bridge volume knob after 80% acts like compressor decreasing the overall gain. What could that be? Have you ever experienced something like it? Thank you!

Do you mean volume? It is expected for two jazz pickups to scoop the mids when both balanced/humbucking. This creates a drop in volume. Favouring one pickup increases the output.

You might try reversing the leads of one pickup

So it's that way? Normal (and technically correct) thing to happen? By the way, yes, I mean volume! Sorry! Thank you!

Yeah, that is expected operation. If you have single coil pickups then they will be susceptible to 60hz hum if you favour one pickup but that is where you get more volume, some prefer the tone of solo'd pickups as well. I prefer a solo'd bridge pickup or at least a heavy blend of it and a little neck pickup.

Try this. Seems like you're out of phase to me.

Out of phase is what you want, but one should be reverse wound.
