I recently purchased a set of Texas Special Pups to put into an Am. Std. Strat. After installing, and before restringing, I plugged into a practice amp and lightly tapped the cover of each pup as I went through the different switch positions. This is something that I have done in the past which lets me make sure all my soldered connections are correct before wasting time and strings. Everything checks out okay, except that I notice that the clicking sound I am getting from the bridge pup has quite a bit less volume to it than the neck and middle pup. I have not experienced this with ones I have installed in the past. Since this is my first set of Texas Specials (with a reverse wound middle pup), I was wondering if this is something that someone else may have experienced too.

Your wiring is weakly connected for the bridge.... you'll need to resolder that one again...

Hey I appreciate the reply. I will double check my soldered connection on the switch.
