In short: per the title.
In long:
- title says it all (Jack was nothing short of a hero to many of us, and not simply for his bass skills)
- no, no connection to Poddighe, myself; not that I would mind, either
- except he doesn't appear to have much use for a bassist, as will be clear by...
I thought I'd share a little tip (as the kids would say..."a hack"). I discovered a way to keep the output jack from rotating while you're tightening the locking nut. Normally, you should remove the pickguard so you can hold the output jack in place. You don't want the output jack turning...
Hello, I think this is my first thread here after 10 years! Sorry for that
The thing is. I came into a Pure Tone Multi-Contact stereo 1/4 jack in Amazon, and was considering it for my Sire V7 Gen2, since the plug could use a better grip. Not so long ago I upgraded the stock jack (which was...
Hello,
I am seriously considering building some BFM Jack cabinets. I currently use a fEARful and absolutely adore its sound, but I have been curious about the Jacks for the longest time and finally might break down and build one to see what all the hype is about.
My main reasoning for the...
Hello There!
I got myself an Epiphone Jack Casady Bass and I'm hearing equal pros and cons for flats v. rounds on it. What do y'all recommend? Roundwound or Flatwound for this bass if I intend to play rock / country with her?
I recently bought a 1978 Rickenbacker 4001 and I can't get both pickups to work on the Standard jack. The neck pickup only works on the "Standard" plug and bridge is only on the "Rick-o-Sound" jack. They are on either side of the switch so I don't think that's the issue and I checked the wiring...
Recently, I bought a Takamine GD30CE guitar. However, when I plug the P10 cable all the way into the jack, the guitar doesn't work on the amplifier. But when I pull the P10 cable slightly out of the jack, it starts working again. What I mean is that the cable fully plugged into the jack doesn't...
I have an output jack that may need to be replaced, but I first wanted to get some input from those who do repairs on electronics. A few months ago, I heard a loud pop produced when my leg made contact with the connector in the side-mounted jack. It seemed as if the contact pressure against the...
Hello
Which bass are closer to Jack Bruce's Warwick signature bass as sound?
( like this performance)
I know Jack used Gibson EB-3 but his Warwick has different sound. Warwick is "softer" than EB-3. EB-3 has really hoarse sound. And Epi viola is different from Hofner Violin bass. So I think...
I dont know if you can tell by fhis picture alone, but could this wire be the issue, will some soldering fix it? i have little experience with eletronics, thanks
ObsidianWire 500K harness. The company is naming and constructing its products a little bit differently now than when I purchased this. This is a simple 500K Vol/Tone plug-and-play wiring harness, constructed to fit a precision bass control layout. This has never been installed, only connected...

Hi all,
I am wondering if anyone has some ideas for my new pedalboard build. As you can see from the picture my current one is very battered and my skills at the time weren’t great anyway.
What you can also see in the picture are some additional connections that do not interact with my effects...
I'm looking to buy a replacement for the cheap barrel jack in one of my basses.
(I know, the old style design is best, but I'm looking to do as much work myself as possible and don't trust myself with a Dremel.)
Switchcraft seems like the standard upgrade choice, but I haven't heard much about...
I have 2 basses with barrel jacks and the general consensus is that they suck. Both of them are crackly and both of them need to be replaced. I am entertaining the idea of replacing both of them with electrosockets, which I have zero experience with. I keep looking at YouTube videos and no one...
Hello All,
So my bass (Fender Jazz Bass MIM) pretty randomly quit on me the other day. I've been having some jack problems for a couple weeks with the sound going in and out when getting hooked up to the amp, but just twisting the input 3/4 always fixed it for me. Now, however, I am not getting...
Hi
I have a problem with my Musicman bass. I bought it 2nd hand so don't know it's history.
The problem is this...
If I plug direct into my 500w stage combo it is clear as a bell, loads of headroom. If I add an effect pedal to the loop I get absolute silence, nada, nothing! If I add a Di box I...
Hi guys,
I am no electrician whizz, and wanna ask. I am waiting for my bass electronics, but my two wire pickups came sooner. I would like to try em at least. Used to solder ground to a ground star on pot, but what if no pots are there? Simply using ground tip on jack should be fine, right? I...
I have an active bass which features both an XLR jack and an ordinary 1/4" jack. After a bit of research I've found that the XLR would have originally been able to supply phantom power to the preamp, but it's since been been disconnected. I'd like to make it original again and wire it back up...
Hey guys, have some doubts here. First to know, I don't know anything about electronics in basses or instruments in general. I have a Fender Jazz Bass Elite 5, love the bass, but I found the input jack it doesn't work well, have some noise when the cable is in a specific position.
I recently...
I have an Ampeg Micro CL which has been awesome. A few months ago, the thread on my speaker jack snapped off somehow. The amp was still totally functional, but the speaker jack wouldn't stay in place so I had to remove the screws for my casing, fish out the jack and then plug it in for a quick...
Hi to all
My dingwall ng2 has a false on the jack and I believe that is about to pass away. I've searched for a replacement part on the Dingwall site but the only available is the NEUTRIK jack:

But I believe that this...
I'm a longtime owner of an early model of the Epiphone Casady. What has impressed me the most about it is that it's louder than the average bass--even at its lowest setting. I've never seen that printed anywhere. Is it just me?
Hi.
It's been a while so please forgive me if I'm in the wrong area of the forum but I was wondering if anyone can recommend the best strap locks for a Jack Casady that don't involve making the hole bigger. I've already returned a pair of Schaller S locks and also a pair of Loxx… I just want...
Hi, I have plans to buy the EMG Geezer Butler PJ pickups, and like the fact that it is solderless. However, the installation guide from the EMG website says that I will have to solder if my instrument uses a 'long panel output jack'. How do I know/check if my bass has this or not? (my bass is a...
i bought this modded squire j bass years ago never needed to open it up until the jack stopped working. it seems to only have one wire available to hook up.
any ideas how to wire this up if this is just a strange type(guessing not) or should i be looking for another that slipped into the body...
Hello,
been lurking here for years (I think 2016?) but it's actually my first post, so happy new year everyone.
I just received my new instrument cable and something about it is bothering me.
It has got G&H ends (pics attached) and they don't plug completely all the way into my bass. Mind you...
Hi everybody,
I'm in love with the Jack Casady bass by Epiphone since 2009, when I first tried it, but never owned one.
Time passes, people move, and like a river flow, it never ends, someone used to say, so now that I found my inner peace with the Gibson SG bass (owning two of them), I...
Thought I'd share. Nice venue with crazy acoustics! Higher end wedding reception. I have my usual trusty Clement PJ strung with Labella flats. Lots of Motown on this gig. I also brought the Roscoe (which is for sale on here) and played it for the set that had more funk and the "Just the Two of...
hey guys and girls!
My bass has been on its stand for a few months and had gathered some dust when I picked it up to play it today. The output jack is suddenly bad as well, was fine last time so I assume related to the dust.
I tried two cables to make sure, and blew hard in the jack socket to...
