GFS Neovin Output

I put a set of GFS Neovin in my strat (N6neck, N5middle, N7bridge). The neck and middle are great. The tone is great, output is great, but the bridge stinks. Sounds about half as hot as the neck. Checked and double checked my wiring, changed my pots still the same. Using 250k pots or 500k pots still sounds the same. This blows my mind, what is up with this thing. Even with it raised up as tight to the strings as possible it isn't up to par. Not quite as noticeable when using my clean boost pedal but still worthless like it is. Need some help.

Is it possible that they sent you the wrong pickup for the bridge? I would measure the resistance with a multimeter and compare it to the specs listed on their site. Also, GFS customer service has been easy to deal with for me in the past. I would consider contacting them if you think your pickup is defective.

first thing I would try is measuring the resistance of the pup to ensure you got the right one.

The second thing I would do is try swapping the hot and ground wires on the bridge pup. Even though you followed the directions, its possible it's wired out of phase. In one case I got a pup from GFS that had the wire colors mixed up.
