    Dedicated Lefty Jazz Bass Wiring Harness!

    The Left Handed Difference

    This harness has been deigned and produced with specially crafted left hand, counter clockwise potentiometers for a smoother volume and tone control taper, and the correct reverse turn, for Lefty players.

    Left Hand 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 (Treble Bleed)

    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.

    Two Switchable 'Modes' (250k & 500k)

    Easily optimize the wiring for your pickups.

    • Mode 1: 250k  For classic vintage Jazz Bass pickups
    • Mode 2: 500k  (For Modern Jazz Bass Pickups e.g Dimarzio

    Lefty Jazz Bass wiring harness

    Just perfect! The tone pot on my bass was shot, so I figured I'd upgrade the whole harness. What a great product! So easy to install, even for me! I had to ream out the holes on the plate a little to make the harness fit, but other than that, so simple. Thanks again for a great product and great customer service.

    Excellent harness!

    Awesome harness, super easy to install, sounds great! I especially love the 250k/500k selector switch because I have Dimarzio Relentless J pickups.

    Great improvement

    The harness was a great upgrade for my bass and contributes to a great sound.
    However, I would just point out that while installing vintage pickups with slightly thicker stranded wires, it was not very easy to insert them into the holes of the solderless adapter. I’m not entirely sure they won’t come loose. With thinner wires, there will certainly be no issue.
    But despite that difficulty, it is undoubtedly a high-quality product.
