Cold solder joints.

Just soldered a new set of tonerider alnico IIs into my les Paul and the neck sounds great but the bridge is really thin and wimpy! I've had a set of these before and loved them, I ended up selling the guitar they were in and missed them a lot more than the guitar I sold.
The neck sounds just the same as I remember but the bridge pup definitely doesn't sound right. Could a cold solder joint allow the pickup to work but not very well? I've never had an issue installing pickups before.

    Sorted it. I de soldered the pickup checked it with my multimeter to make sure it was reading ok, reading at 8.3k so soldered it back in and all's fine now.

    Mustn't rush soldering in future.
