Jazz Bass wiring questions

[huntgl]

I have just added a second pickup to a Squier Bronco bass (Firebird type Mini Humbucker) in the neck position to accompany a Lace Sensor in the middle position. I followed the wiring example given here (minus the tone control):   Jazz Shielding Pictorial  and it seems to be fine, although I am finding that if I have the 2 pickups running at unity volume, it cancels out the bass and i have a very thin out of phase type sound. Is this normal for a Jazz Bass type set up?
Cheers in advance,
Gary.

Sounds like your 2 pups are wired out-of-phase. Try switching the leads (swap the + and -) on one or the other of the pups (not both, you'll be right back where you started!).

Do as he suggests, and all will be well.
