budget bassist Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Aye, no worries, to me it looks like the same jack socket as the one on my SUB bass which should be the same as the one on the current ray, they haven't changed the circuit board in years so you should be able to get a correct replacement.

ahpook Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 just waiting for a reply now...i'll let you know how i get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwater Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 To me that looks like a standard switched TRS jack socket. It looks like the ones on the switchcraft site : [url="http://www.switchcraft.com/products/jack-87.html"]Switchcraft[/url] Should be able to get one from a guitar tech or cpc/farnell/RS components.

ahpook Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 those are 5-tag tho aren't they ? i guess it would be fairly easy to work out the wiring. i wonder if i could use a normal stereo socket ? i've a few of them lying around. and ideas ?

ahpook Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 well, i managed to rehabilitate the old one...a good session with switch cleaner and some mild abrasive and it's back wrking :@) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 no it's not....gone again. i managed to get hold of a similar 5-tag socket, but it doesn't seem that it'll work i'm wondering about rewiring the sabre...at the mo the battery's switched out of the circuit by breaking the +ve connection. i'll have a ponder at the schematic and double check how easy it would be to rewire it to break the -ve...
