geoffw Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hi all. I'm new to this forum, and don't think the Internet was around when I last played bass. I've recently recovered my Hohner B2a headless, which I lent to my son when he went off to uni. He's now 35 and it's spent most of the intervening years under his various beds! Now I'd not long before bought the bass from an acquaintance (with whom I lost touch years ago) so I never did find out what should have been in a hole on the bottom edge, between the leg-rest thingy and the jack socket. Two small screws have clearly been removed from either side, and a tangle of wires is visible just inside. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 It's an XLR socket. I assume as an alternative to a jack socket.

Painy Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Welcome from darkest peru! Well Norfolk actually but the locals can be just as strange. My 1st bass was a B2a. Got rid cos I didn't like the shape and only realised later in my playing career that it had actually been a really nice bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
