Stellartone ToneStyler Onboard Passive Bass PreAmp
Works with all passive bass pickups - no batteries required.
The new for 2012 models feature the same great sound you have come to expect from Stellartone, but now come in a carbon-fiber enclosure. This change has made the Tonestyler lighter and more durable than it's preceding models, all without affecting the bottom line.

Also new for 2012 the different models for split vs. solid shaft have been eliminated, as well as the notched rotation. All Tonestyler's are now smooth rotation and come with split shafts and an ingenious kit that converts split shafts for use solid shafts allowing these kits to be compatible with nearly any knobs on the market.
100% pure analog tone ZERO noise aerospace grade construction and components. Maximum capacitance value: .1΅F. The EQ range is extended two octaves lower, which provides additional resonance selections in the upper bass & low midrange harmonics. The bass model is ideal for shaping & enhancing the pickup response in all passive bass guitars.
Knob is not included but can be added on here. The shaft diameter is 6mm and push-on knobs and set-screw knobs will work.
B-806 - 3/8" Medium Length, Split-Shaft, Notched Rotation Potentiometer with conversion kit for solid shaft.
B-806: $99.95 
Proper Grounding Notes: see Installation Instructions
All ToneStylers have one RED signal wire and one ground wire (or pair of ground wires), which are provided in several colors and types: a GREEN wire, a BLACK wire, a CLEAR wire, and/or a copper shield wire.
If two ground wires have been provided on your ToneStyler, just solder both grounds to the same ground point shown in the diagram... usually the metal case of a volume pot.
General Suggestions:
Most guitars feature a control mounting surface covered in a metallic foil or a metallic paint that is grounded. This is helpful, but is not guaranteed to fully-ground your controls and circuits for optimal performance and hum reduction. For best results, always solder your ground wires between the metal pot cases and other hardware to a single common ground point, usually located on one volume control's casing.
If you are installing any 500 Series ToneStyler, the metal case and the copper shield wire have been soldered to the CLEAR ground wire at the ToneStyler's circuit board. The CLEAR ground wire is electrically common to the cable's copper shield wire, the ToneStyler's metal casing and mounting bushing, and the guitar's mounting surface.
The copper shield wire has been intentionally clipped off the open end of the shielded cable; it's unnecessary to solder this open end of the copper shield wire to the ground, as it is already soldered to the ToneStyler's CLEAR ground wire.
It's also unnecessary to use an additional ground wire or ground lug terminal around the ToneStyler's mounting bushing for additional hum reduction. Just solder the CLEAR ground wire to the guitar's ground, and you're done!
