Andy, i believe started the biz, and Hugh joined in the 80's . Not really up with what's happening these days

Mansons are pretty famous. Manson built basses, and a 10 string bass , for John Paul Jones and guitars for Jimmy Page and guitars for Muse ........ both basses and 6 string leccies. There's many more Mansons built a 3 neck oddball thingy for JPJ that had a 12 string, 6 string + mandolin

A new road worn bass that has ' mojo ' built in from the factory. Naff to the extreme.

Well the CPC Farnell socket fitted a treat, but that wasnt the problem, so it seems. Now booked in for a real tech to look at which means my old buddy Dave Smart

I think that was Paddy Goes To Holyhead. Former members ( and long gone now ) were Andy Scott and Mick Tucker from Sweet. I saw them live in the 90's ( IIRC ) http://www.paddygoestoholyhead.com/thestory.php

I suspect many folk will be just as pizzed off with the payment delays as they are with giving their bank details. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at GreedBay's dept for member accounts , just to see how many give the finger and jump ship. I hope it's millions

I assume that you gave Ebay permission to have your bank details, so i believe you now have to ask them to cancel the direct debit on your account ? I had a look at the personal stuff and it seems you simply cannot now delete your bank details without adding another bank account first

No it doesnt depend on what you're buying. It depends on what the buyer is willing to pay, even if you or some other seller has the only item on the planet. There is no gun to a buyers head to buy anything from anyone. Its quite simple

The option, as i said, is still with the seller to buy or not buy.

I'd take a volleyball, paint a face on it and call it Wilson. I'd have someone to talk to at least

Indeed Matt, it was the holes i measured. But if i gave backwards measurements ( quoted below ) and we swapped 'em round, the first socket posted by Bartelby by still wouldn't fit , but on the one i ordered, there doesnt seem to be a measurment for the pins. It just looks right and if it doesnt fit. i'll start again. I reckon Markbass, being a rather large company, can afford to have the components made as a one off so you have to have an official repair done Dammit - just whipped out yon digital calipers. 15.85 mm length 12.35 mm width

We'll see how the CPC socket works out. My soldering station is a pretty funky bit of kit, as long as i can get the legs through the holes in the PCB

Seems about right. I dont need an amp tech to solder 4 lugs onto a pcb, which i have already dismantled to get the jack socket off. The socket was £7.21 and it WILL fit

Thanks HH. I dont know either, regarding what MB use. I did a search for MB spares before posting here and there's just about bugger all

Ordered the one above I'll have to make it fit

There's this, but again, cannot see the measurment betwen solder legs http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/2303779.pdf

Yup, i figured it out and deleted my post , but you have a quick trigger finger

Dammit - just whipped out yon digital calipers. 15.85 mm length 12.35 mm width ☹️

Wonder why i couldnt find that ? Cheers Bart

Oops

It looks pretty similar Bart. Its a dual pole, 4 leg, and switched ( whatever that means ) but i cannot see the spec on the distance between solder legs. 1 mm out would mean it wouldnt fit, presumably

Anyone know what type of socket these are called ? Its the guitar input on a Markbass, and i need a replacement of something identical. It looks odd to me. Has 4 legs for soldering to PCB
