Trying to replace the pickups in my P/J bass

Hey Everyone, I'm replacing the pickups in my Squier P/J bass. I bought Seymour duncan 57 Antiquity and a 75 fender jazz re-issue. Having a problem. I'm a novice at this but I have done it before. Soldered everything the way it was with the old pickups and even followed the wiring diagrahm provided by seymour duncans site. Problem is when I turn the Jazz volume pot up all the way it seems to kill the P pickups volume. Not shut them off totally. If I roll the Jazz volume mid way, the P Pickup become louder. And both pickups are on at that point. Individually, they both work by them selves. Its just when I try and turn the Jazz volume all the way up with the P bass volume up. it seems to kill the P bass volume dramtiacally. Any Ideas? I even replaced the pot on the Jazz and P pickups
