Active tone shaping from Aguilar!

Active electronics and preamps give you bands of EQ to shape your bass's tone. Using these active EQs lets you find your signature sound directly from your bass. Aguilar sets the standard for aftermarket onboard preamps. The Aguilar OBP-3 runs at 9V or 18V and is the most flexible onboard preamp/EQ Aguilar makes. You get three bands with 18dB boost/cut at 40Hz, 16dB of boost/cut at either 400Hz or 800Hz, and 16dB of boost/cut at 6.5kHz, giving you the fat tone-shaping you need. Expand your tonal palette with the Aguilar OBP-3.

Reviews

Very Good
So. I bought this some years back with the plan to build to upgrade my stingrays electronics. Regrettably, sold the stingray but forgot I still had this. Fast forward 8 years later and I was able to purchase a Sterling Ray 24. Sounded great out of the box but out of the blue remembered I had this. Holy crap, what an upgrade. The switchable mid selector is really useful and the new voice this gives my bass is really musical. The low-mids slice through while still sitting in a mix the way a stingray should; and the bass boost will give you more bass than you'll ever need. I highly recommend any of the OBP's from Aguilar, definitely happy!
