Description

The Aguilar OBP-3 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 manufacturer’s pickups both active such as EMG®, Warwick® MEC, and passive as we build them in house and impedance match the controls, 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!

Tonally these preamps are aggressive, clear, transparent and have emphasis with the low and low midrange being warm, and with the top end 'presence' like. These preamps do not have gain control onboard.

Use of 9v or 18v power is possible as we build the prewires in house to suit your power requirements. 18v grants an additional 6dB of headroom.

Great preamp.
By Charlie
 
This is the third of my basses that I have installed the Aguilar OP3 on. It is a very intuitive pre, and the preset frequencies that are preselected by the manufacturer are very useful. It makes dialing in your bass tone very easy. One thing to know is the high treble control is set at about 6K. It is pretty bright, but if you are looking for an ultra-high frequency boost this may not be the preamp for you. However, some bass heads can give you that sound. I installed this pre in my Warwick Star Bass II. I am not really looking for that modern slap tone from this bass, although it can go there, but just not as bright as, say, my John East preamps that I have on other basses. I love the fact that this pre will run true passive, so if your battery quits, you simply turn the preamp off by pulling up on the volume control. There were some wiring issues with it but BBG refunded the wiring charge. I am happy to recommend them and the OP3.
