That does sound at odds with what I found. fIrstly ( and forgive me if this sounds a bit patronising ) re-check that the pickups are installed in the right slots. The first thing that comes to mind, being that the bridge P.U. is in the neck position . Installing eagerly, makes us all prone to error.

To further ensure that the labels are on the right pickups from the factory,  disconnect the wires from the pots - and confirm that the D.C. resistance of the bridge pickup is higher than the neck.

For clarification, my own Mules sound balanced with each pickup 2mm from the underside of the strings ( high and low 'E' strings ) when fretted at the 22nd fret. Beyond that , I would contact Tim at B.K.P for further recommended action, in case it involves a return to factory for inspection.

Good luck !
