Description
Wiring a new preamp into your bass can eat an entire afternoon — stripping wire, second-guessing lug placement, cursing a cold solder joint. The Bartolini HR-2.2AP/918 harness skips all of that by arriving fully assembled with Bartolini’s own pre-amp electronics and audio-grade potentiometers already wired to spec, so you’re basically just mounting and connecting output.
- Runs Bartolini’s 2-band EQ preamp for shaping treble and bass without a separate mid control eating up panel space.
- First knob is Volume, but it’s doing double duty: pull it up and you flip between active (buffered, preamp-driven) and passive (straight, old-school) operation on the fly.
- Second knob is a stacked Treble/Bass control — two bands of EQ sharing one hole, so you only need to drill for two knobs total instead of three or four.
- Pots are built for smooth, consistent feel and long-term durability, not the scratchy cheap units that die after a few years of gigging.
This is a two-knob layout, so it’s aimed at players who want active EQ shaping without cluttering their control cavity or bass top with extra holes. If your instrument’s routing matches (or you’re comfortable adapting it), this harness gets you from stock electronics to Bartolini tone in a fraction of the time a from-scratch build would take.
Good fit for anyone upgrading a passive bass to active Bartolini tone, or swapping out a tired factory preamp for something with more headroom and control.
