Romeo2 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Hello, Cables got detached from the jack socket in my Squier VM PJ, ie it is at the bottom of the body so has a barrel. So while I am at it I thought to replace the one that is there with something like this: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Neutrik-1-4-6-35mm-Barrel-Jack-Socket-for-Ibanez-Steinberger-Guitar-or-Bass-/190816570970"]http://www.ebay.co.u...s-/190816570970[/url] An upgrade of sorts, I guess. Is this the right size though? I am not at home to measure it but are those barrels all the same length? Any advice / suggestions on what socket to get, and whether the one I linked to is fine or not would be most welcome. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Yep that's the correct one if its a passive bass but get a neutrick or switch craft one Edited January 26, 2015 by Thunderbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
