Black round switches included with configurations requiring switches.
Harnesses are professionally wired in the Fat Bass Tone shop.
All of our pre-wired harnesses are now wired using solderless connectors. This means that you should be able to install the harness without any soldering. A mini flathead screwdriver is included to allow you to screw down the terminals on to the necessary wires. Read more here.
(*If you are installing into a bass with a barrel jack, you may need to solder a couple connections) or grab one of our prewired barrel jacks)
We offer the custom kits kits in both pre-wired and non-prewired. These customs kits go a step further than the standard Aguilar kits and provide more of the components needed. Pre-wiring delivers you a preamp that is almost to the finish line, just the final couple connections and installation into the bass is all you need to do.

No. The OBP3 does not support sweepable mids
Clean with clear tone .. but the output is very strong and will give dirty ground noises
It’s a great product! The sound that this preamp gives is versatile!
I recently swapped the stock preamp in my Schecter SLS-5 for the Aguilar OBP-3 Bass Preamp Custom Kit from Fat Bass Tone, and it’s a massive functional and tonal improvement.
While the original Fluence setup has its merits, moving to the Aguilar OBP-3 was about getting a more 'turn-key' experience. The beauty of these Fat Bass Tone kits is the lack of complex soldering to logic boards—it’s a clean, logical install that just works.
Tonal-wise, the OBP-3 gives the bass a more organic, musical character. The mid-frequency flexibility is exactly what I needed for more nuanced playing, providing a 'vocal' quality to my slides that feels much more intuitive. If you’re looking to refine your active bass without the headache of a messy installation, this Aguilar kit is the way to go. Fast shipping and expert support from the team at Fat Bass Tone made this a 5-star experience.
Bought a few pre-wired preamps. The soldered connections are clean and professional, and the solderless connections make it a breeze to install into your bass. Documentation and diagram was included, which made it super easyCustomer for life!
