The Wiring

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.

The Pickups

Use Your Own Pickups...

Perfect Upgrade

Went to Obsidian Wire to upgrade my electronics for my Fender Jazz due to their ease of install. Surprised with how quickly I received the product, considering it had to come across the world to get to me. Product works perfectly and sounds brilliant! Excellent craftsmanship and easy install!

My second purchase…

Just FYI I purchased this for a Sire V5 four string . It fit Perfectly. (Just wanted to let other Sire owners know that it fit; at least my model since there is not a lot of info out there.) Of course it was a pretty simple install and sounded great! This is my second time using Obsidian Wire. First time I purchased the set for an American P bass. This company is my go to for a quick install and great sound!
