HH Active - Slightly Hearing Neck Pickup w/ Bridge Selected

[doomofman]

OK, so just to get my wiring knowledge out of the way, I basically have none. I follow the diagrams provided by pickup makers and anything outside of that I don't have a clue.

So I've put a new set of Fishman Fluence Modern in a 7 String. I followed this wiring diagram (www.fishman.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Fluence-Modern-7-8-String-HB-Set-Wiring-Diagram.pdf) with the only difference being I have a 3-way toggle (specifically this one) rather than a blade switch.

Now, with everything wired, I thought ,correctly. When I switch to the neck and tap it with my screwdriver, I hear it and I don't hear anything when I tap the bridge.
In the middle, I hear both pickups when I tap them
But
With the bridge selected, if I tap the bridge pickup I hear it but when I tap the neck pickup I can still very faintly hear it.

Any ideas where I may have gone wrong? 

Just to add, this is what the switch wiring looks like, my soldering isn't great but nothing is touching between the 3 points imgur.com/mT3DX73

It's not clear to me that there is, in fact, anything wrong here.

Now, with everything wired, I thought ,correctly. When I switch to the neck and tap it with my screwdriver, I hear it and I don't hear anything when I tap the bridge.

That all sounds as it should be. Have you strung it up and played it?

The fact that tapping on the bridge pickup induces a bit of signal in the neck pickup is not anything all that unusual. It's why it is difficult to tell if one or the other coil of a HB is operating- tapping one coil will produce a bit of signal in the other. Same thing here, although the coils in question are further apart. The fact that these are active pickups may also have a role in this phenomena, I can't speak to that, but in any event, I would string it up and see how it sounds before worrying further. If it sounds good, it is good.

Ordinarily, I would advise taking some resistance measurements with a multimeter so we could "zero in" on whether the pickups seemed to be functioning normally, but active circuitry confounds all that.

You were absolutely right. Finally got it restrung and it sounds great.

A perfect example of why you should always test things in their intended use and not in a vacuum as it were.

Appreciate the response and advise
