Is this wire ok to use as a ground wire in my bass?

[dave_bass5]

I'm sure it's fine but the ground wire is something I've never had to change before. I need a longer length than the piece I have in there now.
I've looked around at home and can't find any spare wire and need to get some ASAP

Hey Dave, PM your address & I'll send you a bit mate.

Cheerz, John

Cheers John, very, very kind of you but I need it tomorrow so will have to go and buy a lot more than I need by the looks of it.

OK the wire in the link is fine, in fact almost anything with a conductor will do, nothing specific, no current or voltage involved, worth considering.

Cheerz, John

Thanks John, that's what I was thinking. Looking at the bit I've taken out it does look very cheap and thin. Guess that's all that's needed.

Funny enough I've been in hospital getting a kidney stone removed today. It's amazing what they managed to get up me without making any new holes :-0

Wish you well.

[dave_bass5]

Thanks. It all went well and hopefully in a few days once the soreness has gone ill be back to normal.

Maplin sell most wire by the metre, but you won't find out which until you get in store.

[dave_bass5]

Thanks BB. I ended up getting way to much but it only cost me 99p from the bargain bucket so i cant complain.

I started doing grounding wire in guitars with solid wire, from leftover bits of mains cable from sorting the house electrics. Means that if your pot nuts come loose, the hard wire soldered to it stops it rotating or falling inside, ditto with the jack socket.

[dave_bass5]

This wire is to go in a P-Retro so i needed it longer than the stock length that just went to the old jack socket.
