DiMarzio Releases Drop-In Wiring Harnesses for Bass

The heart of DiMarzio’s drop-in prewired bass harnesses is the combined use of our custom 500K volume and 250K tone pots. Our pots were first built over 45 years ago, and we wanted them to have the smooth feel and graduated taper found on some vintage 50’s guitars. Using a 10-step rotary switch, we created a taper that works with DiMarzio pickups. It’s neither a linear nor audio taper pot — it’s DiMarzio’s custom taper. To further increase reliability, we make the center shaft and threaded parts from solid machined brass instead of cheap castings.

We’ve sound tested dozens of capacitors from various suppliers, too, and our winner is clear: the Sprague. We’ve chosen an Orange Drop .033 mf capacitor for its smooth high frequency roll off, and we use vintage-style 22-gauge push back cloth wire.

DiMarzio wiring harnesses are all hand assembled and tested in the USA using lead-free silver solder and the best sound-tested parts.
