Are these pickups 'out of phase' ?

Hey guys,

I'm trying to hunt down a weird sound. I put a 'neck-on' switch to my Strat to turn on the neck pickup in order to use the bridge+neck and bridge+middle+neck combos. When I switch to bridge+neck is sounds very thin and shallow along with a drop in volume.

Considering there are 2 Texas Special (reverse polarity in order to cancel hum in position 2 and a DiMarzio humbucker wired to split-coil and cancel hum in position 4, would that means that when I switch over to the full humbucker and neck pickup they are out-of-phase, explaining the weird sound coming out of those ?

If so, how I modify the wiring to make them play in phase ?

Here is my wiring:

Is the 5 -way switch this one?

Yes it is. Schaller S Megaswitch.
 
Nevermind, Bridge and Neck WERE out of phase, I switched both leads of both Neck and Middle and now it's all good with the bridge  :toothy10:

Only thing left: figure the wiring to get the neck in series with the bridge :)
