All Obsidian® Pro-Wired Electronics are super easy to install, and allow for solder-less pickup changes with Obsidian® Plug, Play & Enjoy connectors. 

 

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.

OBSIDIAN Wire product.

I purchased the Obsidain wire for my squire precision bass guitar and it sounds great, although I had replaced the stock pickups with a set of Fender custom shop 62" P-bass it sounds so good no buzz from the bass at all. its like im playing a true Fender vintage P-bass I gaved this product a five star, hell if I could I would give it a ten.

Great upgrade

Simple to install, with some great instructions. Sound with the new pickups is also nicer compared to what I had previously (Rosewell pickups before). Only thing is the knobs I have don't fit. Not sure why as they're supposed to be 1/4" Fender. I assume that's my issue and not that of the ObsidianWire. Overall great product and highly recommended.

Easy to install and it works

Hate soldering? This is what you need. I installed this harness on a cheapie jazz bass and used a set of Seymour Duncan quarter pounder jazz bass pickups. The installation was very easy and fast. The cheapie bass plays and sounds like a high dollar bass. Best upgrade to get. Obsidian Wire did this right. Took under an hour total time.

Great setup

Great and easy setup, the process is easier if you strip the wires ahead of time, so that when they arrive it’s a matter of connecting and done.

High Quality Construction And Simple To Install!

I'm not comfortable with doing things like this to my gear at all. I change my own strings, but I don't even do my own setups. This was my first time attempting anything like this, and I'm so incredibly glad that I did! The harness was very easy to install, even for me, and it's provided much more range in tonal options with the new pickups I also installed. I would absolutely use Obsidian Wire solderless products again and would recommend them to anyone!
