Lower volume from one string

[Steinarf]

I have a Yamaha BB5000A with bartolini replacemant pickups. The bridgepickup is a j-pickup. When I select or pan to this pickup, the volume from the A string is about 30 percent less than from the rest of the strings. I have been told that with bartolini pickups, you can adjust volume individually for each string. Is this the case, or is there something wrong with the pickup or the electronics?

Coming from my vast knowledge of basses and all things stringed, I'd do the following:

 

-Make sure you have some decent strings on,

-Check the height of that darn A-String,

-Check pickup height.

 

30% volume loss is pretty extreme (I hate that word), so maybe a trip to the pro tech is what you'll need if my 3 "Bass 101" troubleshooting fixes don't help.

 

Oh, and since this is your first post, I must flame you, it's the rules here. Here goes:

 

"The president of my company would greatly appreciate it if you would use the search feature before asking a dumb question like this. He says that if you searched first and avoided posting, I would spend more time working, and less time on this forum. Thanks."

 

Okay, I'm done. I'm a nice guy so I went easy on you compared to some around here. But welcome to our forums!
