Control Plate for Jazz Bass® Chrome

It is my first time using a product like this. It was super easy and everything sounds great. It was a pleasure working with the company. They were fast, responsive very pleased. I look forward to working with them again. I would recommend it.

I replaced an active preamp with passive switch on my favorite 5-string jazz and this thing sounds so good. More articulate and open sounding vs. how it sounded with the pre bypassed. My bass, a BassMods K534 is known in gospel and funk for a hi-fi jazz sound and super easy playability. However, I'm a rootsy reggae/jazz/soul player and wanted to capture the classic jazz tone for mostly finger styling playing with flatwounds - installing this pre-amp did it. This gives me a modern, super easy playing 5-string with a rich jazz bass tone with more clarity and range through the 2 volumes and single tone knob. I like modding basses but soldering is something I struggle with. I'm all thumbs when it comes to wiring but I was able to do it with some trial and error in under an hour. If my pickups had more identifiable wiring, it would've taken me alot less - not the fault of the harness. Those instructions were clear and the unit is super solid.

Ever since I discover Obsidian I never look back, all my basses are equipped with em, and now I had the chance to install one on my first J bass and just as expected, greatest quality, amazing value, and I can safely say the greatest upgrade you can do on your instrument

Thank you Obsidian

Awesome product! Super easy install. Works flawlessly. No dead spots, scratching, hissing, or any other anomalies. Couldn't be happier. Fretless Jazz Bass with passive Bartolini's.
