## Questions & Answers

**Q: I am getting hiss when treble is boosted, how to eliminate hiss ?**
A: A certain amount of hiss is quite normal, especially when boosting higher end frequencies.  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 January 9, 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. 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice and loud
*by J***. on April 29, 2019*

You can't go wrong with the Aguilar pre-amps. Well worth the upgrade. I installed it on a Spector bass and it was a big improvement to the stock unit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rescued my bass
*by R***N on March 8, 2021*

This preamp gave life to a used Kiesel bass that sounded terrible when I got it. Easy to install and gave it a wonderful tone.Would definitely recommend.
