Bridge pup fine but sometimes when I switch it to bridge the bridge is very quiet.
Upon reswitching it is fine again. This happens at least once a day for the past three days.
Was thinking of cleaning the contacts but it is a boxed switch, not exposed contacts like comes stock.

Even though it's an enclosed switch, there's probably a tiny gap somewhere through which you could squirt some contact cleaner.

I will have to inspect. I am also thinking let it drizzle down the switch arm into the box from the top.

So it turned out to be BOTH the pickup was dead, and, after taking apart the box selector switch, the conductor tab for the neck pup side was not making contact either.
So I have installed a new HB1 pup and an open, serviceable Switchcraft three way toggle and that fixed it.
