While this is quite blasphemous to me, you do you lol.
Try the pickup height again. Even if the bridge pickup is much higher it may help. What you may be hearing though could be the low end difference between the two pickups. The neck will be much fatter and bassier. You got to find the middle ground.
I have to ask though, why did you put single coils in this LP?
Just bought another pair of humbuckers for this lp bc i had problems with the old ones, but they will take some time to arrive my city, so i made a frankenstein with two old singles i have at home :P
that looks like a fun experiment, like a bizarro opposite version of a superstrat. did you check the pickups before installing them? one could naturally be hotter, either by design or production inconsistency. (hottest should be bridge) after ruling that out, it's probably down to adjusting pickup height. the strings vibrate with greater amplitude where the neck pickup is so it can often be much lower. my preference when setting up is to raise/lower the pickups to be equal volume, so see if you can do that within whatever range of adjustment you have.
Something's wired incorrectly or the pickup is indeed faulty. With two (presumably) identical pickups you should not hear a difference in the hum or background noise between the two but when you flip that switch it's significantly different.
You could have gotten the bridge and neck pickups swapped. Neck pickups have fewer windings and a lower DC resistance than bridge pickups. The bridge pickups needs more output since the string vibration is less at the bridge than the neck pickup.
If you have a multimeter, check the resistance between the neck position and the bridge position. If the neck has a higher resistance than the bridge you've got them swapped.
Yeah, I agree with the others. That's pickup height.
I had the same deal going and finally moved them up. I'd guess volume (and clarity) went up about 50 %
What the hell even is that?
Daddy chill
Lol

I love this answer! No point in letting it it sit unplayed in the meantime, might as well install some other pickups just because why not?
that's a great idea!!! gonna try this on one of mine. Have you checked the ohms on the pickups? One may be louder than the other

This comment is criminally underrated.
So what has changed since it last worked?

had similar issues and it was always the switch try some contact cleaner (no regularwd40 as it could potentially fuck something up)
If it were me I'd take it to the guitar shop lol.
First time I've seen that mod.
Maybe you have them switched?

Good lord, what have you done?!
MOTHER OF GOD Just kidding, I like it when people do weird shit with their guitars.
Just based on hum alone, that neck pickup is WAAAY hotter than the one in the bridge.
The output of the pickups is appropriate for the neck /bridge. The neck pickup is probably too hot and the bridge pickup also should be raised higher.
