Review: The best preamp with the lowest price. - I put it in my Carvin LB 75 and the muddy ness in the low end is gone.It has got tons of lows, just a slight twist and you will hear the change. The mid frequency select switch is an awesome feature with boost and cut at 500hz and 800 hz, its all that you need in the mid department, also the highs are crystal clear but has a lil bit of hiss when boosted fully. Review: Aguilar obp-3 - I put this onboard preamp into my Warwick thumb with nordstrand pickups! It is amazing. I can't get a bad tone out of it. It has an in your face growl to it. The preamp came with an awesome diagram and I wired it up myself. I replaced all of the pots in my bass with American made ones and I think that helped out also. ## Features - Includes stacked Treble/Bass pot and separate Mid pot.

If this is something you want to fully eliminate, you might want to look into getting a noise gate. The ISP Decimator is one that is highly rated, but there are other options out there. IMO, unless you are in the studio recording I wouldn't worry about the hiss too much. Good luck! **Q: Does this come with the knobs for the pots?** A: No it doesn't. I used the knobs from my bass. I purchased a stack knob for the bass/treble pot. **Q: Is this ideal for the mim Jazz V?** A: IMHO..I believe that the Aguilar OBP-3SK/PP will work fine for the mim Jazz V. **Q: Im experiencing a terrible sound clipping issue when preamp onboard is turned up. Is this common?** A: No. I think this is a malfunction or wrong wiring. Check all soldered spots and connections. If all done right contact your seller. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best preamp with the lowest price. *by A***P on 9 January 2017* I put it in my Carvin LB 75 and the muddy ness in the low end is gone.It has got tons of lows, just a slight twist and you will hear the change.
