I got a problem with the neck pickup on my Ibanez GRG170DXL
when I switch to my neck pickup I lose a lot of output
I recorded a sample where I play my bridge pickup first and then switch to my neck pickup wihtout changing any settings
I hope you can help me

I have another take on it, if adjusting the height doesn't help i.e. There's alot of hum when you switch to the bad pu, perhaps it's badly soldered somewhere along the way. Assuming the Pu is alright in itself I'd start checking both the pu selector switch and the neck volume pot.

If you have a multimeter you can easily measure between points to find if there's somewhere the signal weakens. Then you have isolated the spot(s). If you don't have one, get one. Otherwise if a wire isn't visibly hanging by a thread it can be difficult to spot.
