But if all positions other than the bridge are muddy, that means you don't like the normal neck pickup sound or the in-phase parallel sound either, so it sounds like the capacitance of the cover might be the issue. The very first thing to try is removing the ground connection from the cover. Simply snip the wire, preferably at the cover end. (Make sure it's the cover ground and not the coil ground!)

You shouldn't need to change your pickups, aren't they custom shop models?
I had one, it was rubbish too. Sold it on very quickly.
I think on the Baja it puts both pickups in series with each other which I have always found to sound bad. If I got a Baja I'd instantly change it to standard tele switching.
Interesting to see the negative comments in this thread, I've only heard great things about the Baja. Kind of glad to hear negatives in a weird way cause I'm regularly fighting gas for one.
but, the switching system is fecking brilliant!... standard tele tones and a few more that are really useful.
My taste in Telecaster neck position pickups is for A3 rod magnets. Second choice, three A5 and three A2. This board's favourite UK pickup builders may or may not offer such products.

Its the “ground” wire for the neck pickup cover... you may possibly notice a slight increase in noise but it will also make the pickup sound a bit brighter and add a bit of clarity to it!...
if you dont don’t like that you can put the green wire back!...
