So, I should check in the morning by tapping on the pup poles when I wont wake up my roommates but I just got home and have been thinking about this all day. Ive noticed people saying that they get more treble out of the bridge pup. This is not my experience. I get more bass sound when the pup selector is pushed all the way down and to the right. And when the selector is all the way up to the left I get a thinner sound.

Im wondering if I either accidently soldered the switch backward or if I dont know if position 1 is bridge or neck.

I thought with the switch down and to the right was the bridge and pup position 1.... correct?

With the switch nearest the volume control, it is BRIDGE pickup only, position #1

??? Strange.

Ya, take a paperclip and tap on the pickups as you go through the switch positions.

Don't bother with the soldering iron, just turn the switch around.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.
