four/five Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Not sure if this should be in the BB forum or here. Has anyone changed the output jack socket on these basses? Mine has got to the point that the slightest cable movement and the jack plug (Neutrik) just falls out. I realise you can loop the cable through the strap etc but are there any other types of sockets that would be more of a direct fit ie: switchcraft. Or perhaps a new Yamaha type would have a better grip on the plug. Changing it is no problem but need to find one with having to “bodge” the body work. And while we’re at it, anyone swapped out the PU switch for a second volume pot, as per the new 43* series. If so can you get a more varied blend between the PU’s as per Jazz bass?

John Cribbin Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 The short answer is Switchcraft. Their sockets have been proven to last over many decades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Definitely Switchcraft or Neutrik. The switch is a pretty standard pickup switch but if you were considering another vol why not a blend pot? Much easier to get a balance between the pickups and infinitely variable unlike the switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
