King Tut Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 On an active bass, there's usually three tags on the socket that have wires attached to them - I think the sockets are stereo sockets? Mostly - they're fully enclosed, so how on earth do you decide which wire to solder onto which lug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Just buy a non-enclosed socket where you can see the connections, the good quality ones (Switchcraft etc.) are usually like this anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazBeen Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) They are called TRS sockets, Tip, Ring, Sleeve. You are referring to a barrel socket. Almost without fail wiring will be sleeve earth, ring will be battery and tip will be hot. http://www.bestbassgear.com/ebass/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Picture-12.png Edited November 29, 2016 by HazBeen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
