Hi i think I need to replace my jack socket on my jazz bass the lead doesn't click into place and can just fall out, it's like the lead won't push in far enough,im just after some info on what type of socket I need and the best place to get one? Is it a tough job to do and does it require any soldering etc? Sorry for the silly questions it's just I haven't had time to take it to bits and have a look. Thanks, Ben

Easy job to do but does require soldering

All the Switchcraft sockets I've had lately have been really horrible to get a good solder joint onto. The metal used in them, because of the 'springyness' is not a material that solder takes to easily. The surface plating should make it easier but in some cases the only way to get a good joint is to clean the area with a file or emery paper & use a good flux. Even this doesn't guarantee a good joint, especially with 'modern solders' & you will need a decent soldering iron.

Give me a shout if you have problems with it.

Cheerz, John
