My bridge pick-up has just lose 80% percent of his volume, when I use a heavy distorsion on my ampli the sound that come out is almost clean. When i switch to neck pickup all is right (decent distorted sound). I had a gig yesterday night and all was fine... Do you think i should try to remove my pickup to see if some wire has displaced? thanks for the help!

Just out of curiosity what kind of guitar is it? I have a Gibson faded Flying V that I have this exact same problem with, and I had the toggle switch replaced by a guitar tech and it did fix it for a few weeks then it started acting up again, So I'm looking around for a new tech to replace the wiring and maybe the pick up as well.
