Yamaha BB 424x jack output socket.

Hi.
Anyone know what jack output socket I need to buy for a Yamaha BB 424x please. Dimensions....etc.
Don't want to get the wrong one.
Thanks.

Looks like these parts fail often - mine went on my BB415 and in a pinch I stole one from a Yamaha RBX275! I'd quite like to get the old one working again so I'd also like to know!

I've ordered one dannybuoy. I'll take the "hit."
If it fits, I'll message you.

Looks like one of these.
I would try and find the Neutrik or Switchcraft version though.

The neutrick ones fit spot on if that helps

Thanks Bass bunny / Thunderbird.
I've ordered one of those and just hope I've got the right length.

Incidentally....what's the difference 'tween mono or stereo ones.

Stereo ones have a third terminal (for the ring part of a stereo jack). In electric bass terms this is mostly used to complete the circuit to switch on the power to active electronics using a mono jack plug (this bridges the ring and sleeve connections). In a passive bass it is irrelevant - use the tip and sleeve terminals as usual and ignore the ring.
