strat pup height (aka i'm terarded)

[rollyfoster]

i'm having a heckofatimebrownie with setting the bridge pickup height on me strat. i think it matches the neck as far as volume but i can't really tell because i think i perceive the neck to be louder because it is so much fuller sounding.

when playing at higher gain, it sounds like i lose some volume when switching to the bridge. the problem is i can't tell if i'm actually losing volume or just think i am because it's sound is so much thinner than the neck. CS '69s.

egads! any tips or tricks?
