While working on a used bass, purchased by a client, the client sent one of the Fat Bass Tone pre-wired passive harnesses (vol, blend, tone 2 pup) to upgrade to the electronics on the bass. When I received the package I was not expecting much as I wire this set up often, and it is rather simple. I was immediately impressed with the clean and well thought out work the harness possessed. I was happy to see the pots were the quality brand I normally use (Noble) and that all solder joints were very clean and uniform. Even the Orange Drop cap was what I use in most of my work. I was struck with the thought that with this quality level, and the price, it would be a huge time/cost saving measure, if I was to use these harnesses, rather than sourcing the pots, caps, wire, and the time spent, wiring harnesses myself. Wiring is not one of my favorite aspects of building, and the Fat Bass Tone harness certainly is up to the standard that I would expect in very high end instruments. So I have recently chosen to purchase my harnesses from FBT, to achieve the consistency in the electronics package, I want for my production basses.

Bought a pickup replacement and I was treated like I had just bought a Fodera. Walked me through selection, installation and tips and tricks. Great experience! Thank you!
FBT had the parts I needed when I needed them. Plus, Max & Brian are always quick to answer questions and offer advice. This is the first place I check when I need stuff for repairs or upgrades.
The service I received was incredible. Had to have a couple of conversations with the technician but he was able to help me make the right choice for my bass. I am very happy with the results and the producers are as well. We’ll do business again definitely!
This was my first time ordering from fat bass tone and I couldn't be happier. the communication was excellent and the product arrived exactly as promised.
Quick and easy transaction. Fat Bass Tone is where I go anytime I need parts for any of my basses. Customer service are very knowledgeable and will always help you out.
I have upgraded a least 3 Basses and 1 guitar and each time they walked me through which product was best and how to wire the pieces together. In some cases they pre wired my pick ups and controls to make my installation a breeze.
It’s great to find a company dedicated to the needs of a seasoned bass player.
Shipping and Communications were on point with my expectations.
I had been contemplating getting new pre amp for my warwick thumb bass BO4 for at least a year but was skittish cause I didn’t want to totally alter sound just wanted more mojo and fatter bass tone without losing Warwick sound . I called fat bass tone and spoke to Max . Not only did Max answer all me questions he gave detailed info on the whole process and not once did he try persuade or rush me to buy . That patience along with his knowledge and understanding was paramount in me making my decision . I finally took plunge and purchased pre wired Aguilar OBP2 … after receiving OBP2 I contacted my luthier for install . When my luthier contacted me to let me know it was installed I was excited and rushed to pick up my Warwick . When I plugged my bass into amp and started jammln I fell in love with the Aguilar OBP2 … what I was missing it gave it to me . Fat bass … great mids and very articulate . I loved it so much I’m gonna get OBP3 for my other Warwick . If you need pre amp … pickups …. Bridge …. Pre amp pedal …. Anything to do with tone of your bass FAT BASS TONE is the place to go !! The most pleasant buying experience I’ve ever had . Thanks Max !!!!
I bought Delano bass preamp and Delano jazz pickups from Fat Bass Tone. The tech/salesman took the time to listen to me suggested these products. WOW! he was spot on very knowledgeable about bass gear...Delivery was very timley and fast. I have made Fat Bass Tone my goto company for my sound needs. I've already told several musicians about this company! Excellent job!
I’m so glad I found Fat Bass Tone. They had everything I needed for my new pickup upgrade. I had questions about the pickups, so I called, hoping to get help. Max was very helpful with detailed answers and guided me with my decision.

...Flash forward to today, and we’ll find a huge amount of basses that have the now classic P/J pickup configuration. From entry-level basses by brands like Ibanez, all the way to hand-built high-end basses from builders like Spector and Sadowsky, they’ve all embraced the P/J...
I recently gave my 5-string Deluxe Jazz Bass a major makeover. I swapped the original pickups for Nordstrand Big J Blades (warm & wooly wind), added an Aguilar OBP-3 preamp, replaced the old bridge with a Hipshot KickAss, and even threw on some cool black metal knobs.
Chorus, phaser, flanger, vibrato, and envelope filters are effects that might conjure images of swirling guitar solos and psychedelic soundscapes. But don't let that fool you. When applied thoughtfully, modulation effects can transform your bass lines into dynamic, textured sounds that complement the mix in unexpected ways.
Whether you want to add subtle movement and depth to your sound or unleash a swirling vortex of sonic goodness, modulation effects have something to offer every bassist.
Just like the other hardware on this bass, the bridge on my old J bass is definitely not top-of-the-line. So, there's a big opportunity for a bridge upgrade to yield a noticeable improvement. If this bass already had a high-quality bridge, I'd only consider a new bridge for better adjustability or a different aesthetic. But that's not the case here.
