    An electromagnetic pickup is a simple circuit which either (a) works or (b) doesn't work. So if it's working, I don't think you damaged the pup. More likely what you did was wire the two sections of the bridge pup together in parallel rather than series when changing, or made some other error in the wiring to the pots. Check your wiring carefully!
