BMBR Posted May 17, 2023 Author Share Posted May 17, 2023 Thanks. Was trying to find out exactly which make is fitted as standard - eg switchcraft ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBunny Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 All jack sockets do the same job so just replace with either a Switchcraft or Neutrik one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 The one in the pic looks like a Switchcraft SC-151 barrel socket. They usually come with a regular hex nut rather than a circular knurled one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks like a recipe for disaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMBR Posted May 19, 2023 Author Share Posted May 19, 2023 Yes it has - just bought this bass and assume it’s been replaced at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
