Help! JP6 BFR bridge pickup volume

Hi all!
This is my first post here in the forums.

I got a used JP6 BFR with the Crunch Lab bridge pickups.
I noticed that the volume of the bridge pickup is slightly lower than the neck's. Is this normal?

I tried tapping the pickups using a screw driver.
On the middle position (single coil setting, tone pot pushed in) only the magnetic bar produces a sound. I assume this is normal. But tapping that same magnetic bar of the bridge pickup at the middle position and the bridge position, its pretty obvious that the bridge position produces a louder sound.

I tried it also with the neck pickup. Comparing the neck and middle position, the volume is the same.
Has anyone tried this?
Is there a problem with my bridge pickup? Could it be faulty wiring?

Thanks guys!
