Prewiring:
The prewiring fee includes wiring the potentiometers, switches (black is standard, chrome available upon request), battery connectors and jack for whatever configuration you have chosen from the above options.
There are a couple connections that you will still have to make - since your bass isn't on our bench! You will need to wire the pickups to the preamp, grounding wire from the bridge and possibly the jack if it is not the common style jack that is included.
Prewiring is done every couple of days. Typical wait is just 48-72 hours before leaving our shop.
Use with active pickups:
The preamp can be used with active pickups, such as EMG®, Warwick® MEC and others. Contact us before purchasing to make sure that compatible potentiometers are used with these pickups.
Aguilar OBP-3 Bass Preamp Description
The Aguilar OBP3 was built from the ground up to be the
ultimate source of full-bodied tone, transparency, and versatility for your bass.
Three bands of boost/cut and a selectable midrange frequency provides flexibility
to dial in just the right tone. The treble control delivers up to 16dB of boost/cut
at 6.5Hz and captures the dynamic of a "Passive Tone Control" when rolled off.
The powerful midrange control offers user selectable frequencies of 400 or 800Hz,
each with a full 16dB boost/cut capability. The midrange retains constant bandwidth
in any setting so there is no "muddy" frequency overlap. The bass control features
a boost/cut of up to 18dB at 40Hz, adding Aguilar's signature thickness to any
instrument.
The Aguilar OBP3 is compatible with most major manufacturer¹s pickups, and its
small size makes it an easy retrofit in almost any bass. Combining high headroom
and low noise, the OBP-3 is unmatched in providing tonal flexibility while retaining
the true character of any bass!
