ObsidianWire 8415394617 Vintage Plus Precision Bass Harness

The ObsidianWire Vintage Plus Wiring Harness is a complete electronics upgrade designed specifically for Fender Precision Bass and compatible Squier models. At its core are hand-matched Emerson Pro CTS 250K solid shaft potentiometers with audio taper, held to a tight ±6% tolerance that ensures smooth, predictable volume and tone response. The inclusion of a NOS Russian Cold War Era K42Y-2 paper-in-oil capacitor gives the tone circuit a warmer, fuller character that many players prefer over modern ceramic or film alternatives. A built-in premium treble bleed modification on the volume pot keeps the high end intact as you dial back, solving one of the most common complaints with passive bass electronics.

Installation is the harness's standout feature. ObsidianWire's proprietary Plug, Play & Enjoy connectors eliminate soldering entirely—players simply connect their pickups and output jack using the provided snap-in leads. The included Switchcraft J11 mono output jack handles the 1/4-inch TS connection with reliable, low-noise performance. While the solder-less system works seamlessly with ObsidianWire-compatible pickups, players using third-party pickups may need to solder adapter leads. Overall, this harness is aimed at bassists who want a meaningful tonal and functional upgrade without the complexity or risk of traditional rewiring.
