I used these on the solderless P-bass wiring harness, also from Obsidianwire. These knobs are solid, heavy, and have a positive feel. Fit to the potentiometer shaft is perfect. Paired with the Obsidianwire harness, I could not be more pleased. There is some resistance in the feel, but not too much, and the substantial knobs exude quality, giving a well-built and sturdy feel.
Performs as advertised! I love it.
Had to do a little carving inside the pot cavity but that was the only thing that kept it from being a "drop -in" install. Great product. I'll be back for more.
Thanks OW
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!
Realllllly helped bring out my neck pickup from muddy to an insane amount of tonal options. It’s like having a pedal on your guitar. Definitely recommend getting this before you change your pickups. You Can get crazy amounts of different tones on one guitar! Gone from barely playing my les Paul to the first guitar I grab. Was going to change my pickups soo glad I changed to this wiring instead.
One thing that I didn’t find in any reviews and I was a little worried about that I can’t believe hasn’t been addressed in any of the videos /reviews currently out there at the time of writing is how great the range of the tone pots are!! All the reviews have been about the volume. If you like to ride your tone nob for lots of different flavours like a LP JR. you’ll love this. The tone pots on this give you a great range and sweep the tone spectrum beautifully. Really is a super upgrade.
Lastly the other thing that’s not mentioned and will save you a lot of time on install is when you push down on the solder-less wiring button to insert the pickup or any wiring into it.
‘You’re not clamping down on the wire!’ When you push the button. You’re opening up the hole to insert wiring and it will clamp down on it when you release the button. So push down on the button before inserting the wire and then release the button to hold the wire in place. It will be a lot quicker and easier and save you the headache if you know this ahead of time.
I installed this hum bucker in the neck of my Tele. Great sound in neck position and an amazing sound blended with my bridge Tele single coil!
