Super Easy, Solder-less Install
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.

High Quality, Easy Install

I love the quality and ease of install. My previous setup looked like a bird's nest but now it's neat and clean. I notice greater variability in volume and tone.

Easy and Awesome!

This is a top quality product. I got the pre-wired harness mounted to a new control plate. Installation was easier than the removal of the factory plate and controls. The potentiometers make such a huge difference in volume and tone control. This has turned my good Jazz Bass into a fantastic Jazz Bass. If you're on the fence about this upgrade, go ahead and do it. The price is great and by doing it yourself, you're going to save money. And, be proud of tuning up your bass. Thank you, ObsidianWire!

Works as advertised

I’m not handy with a soldering iron and this definitely made the process easier. I’m not an experienced tinkerer so I can’t say if it has a greater range of sounds, but it’s certainly not less!

Worked well with new fender ultra noiseless pickups. Mounting plate fits Japanese fender jazz bass which was a nice surprise. Cable attachment is a lot more secure than my old harness. I like the Larger volume knobs.
