Ive finished my GSP build strat - it's a beaut.

However I'm normally all cool with wiring but the position 4 on the pickup selector is much quieter than the others. The set up is HSS with a Mojo vintage bucker in the bridge and the BKP Apaches in the neck and middle. Also a Mojo loom is installed 

could it be a phase issue ?? 

What can can I do to solve it??

    It sounds like a Phase issue, try swapping the wires on the neck pickup.

    What do you mean by position 4 - neck and middle, or middle and bridge?

    If the former then Olaf is right. If the latter then swap the bridge wires.

    What Sporky said - it will be a phase issue between the Mojo and the BKPs. Swap the hot and ground wires (not the shield) on the Mojo and it should be all good.

    If it doesn't have 4-conductor cable, you'll need to swap *both* the BKPs.

    So swap the hot and ground wired where? On the back of the pot and the 5 way

    Wherever they're connected to. It would normally be the pot and the switch unless you've got a coil-split or some odd control arrangement.
