JAZZ BASS WIRING HARNESS

The Obsidian® for Jazz Bass wiring harness is a complete electronics upgrade for your Jazz bass with some Obsidian® mods for clarity at all volumes, and a smoother range of tone and volume control. 

These are built to be a direct fit for genuine Fender Jazz Bass, and Squier Jazz Bass with some adjustments. 

CRYSTAL CLEAR TONE

Retain clarity at lower volumes. To make your tone crystal clear at lower volumes we include an Obsidian® Custom spec treble bleed mod. This prevents tone 'muddiness' at low volumes by allowing high frequencies to pass along a separate path to your amp, rather than being stopped short by the increasing resistance at the volume control.

SMOOTH CONTROL

Even tone and volume control all the way from zero to ten. Obsidian® tone and volume controls incorporate carefully selected and custom-built components, as well as our own clever mods to smooth out the taper of your tone and volume controls, so you get a more even roll off all the way from zero to 10.

Top of the line product!

I bought a used 1985 Geedy Lee CIJ jazz bass, both volume control pot had a flat spots and 1/4 input was slopy. Decided to replace the hole control panel. A friend told me to check out Obsidian Wire. First impression was how the mother board cleaned the harness from outer wiring from pot to pot. After extending ground wirer from bridge installation was easy! Control plate & knobs correct, excellent volume & tone control, sound is awesome.

Awesome Upgrade

The Obsidian kit was very quick and easy to install in my Jazz Bass. So much tidier than the factory wiring. Not having to solder to pots is also a good idea, by not risking damaging them with heat. It will also make swapping out pickups easier in the future

Best Jazz Bass Upgrade

I have purchased this product multiple times for my various Jazz basses. I love it. It really adds more punch and clarity to my tone. And all I need to do is loosen then tighten a few screws from the control panel and pickups, and changing the pickups is quick and safe. No solder fumes!

It works great

The only problem was I had a little trouble getting the 4 wire from the pickups hooked up they were hard to get in but once I got the in they sound great. I had to modify the squire base plate that the attach to but that wasnt any big deal just took drill and drilled and opened the holes that were there to 3/8 and it fit perfect
