steantval Posted April 23 Posted April 23 (edited) Can anyone give me any advice on where to purchase a replacement jack socket, the enclosed black box type, that is soldered to the circuit board, they seem almost impossible to get hold of. My bass is a 1994, 2 EQ Stingray. I would be most grateful for any guidance. Edited April 23 by steantval Quote

I think you're probably best off contacting them directly. They'll likely ask you to send the part to them before they'll send out another. I hope I'm wrong, and that my case was the odd one out (took a year before I received a fitting pot for my NOS Bongo). Edited April 23 by BassTractor 1 Quote

Delberthot Posted April 23 Posted April 23 (edited) I needed a battery box and output jack for my 2016 EMBB Sterling so emailed string and things It took a couple of months of very slow back and forth but eventually I received a box the size of a small suitcase ( I kid you not ) with the parts I needed. I can't remember exactly how much but it was roughly £22 delivered for both parts which seemed fairly reasonable 🤔 Edited April 23 by Delberthot Quote
SimonK Posted April 24 Posted April 24 (edited) RE battery boxes, I've replaced them on both my stingrays (3EQ, 1998 & 2001) with the following which fits perfectly: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/322826391603 RE the jack socket, I think you can get pretty close with standard parts: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265241820441 Edited April 24 by SimonK 1 Quote

Buy them at Mouser @steantval, they are the original ones and the price is way lower. I even put the two official wiring diagrams in the link above. Quote

steantval Posted 1 hour ago Author Posted 1 hour ago I thought I would bring up this thread again. I went onto the online Musicman spare parts site and actually located the socket I required, priced at £3.10p, I proceeded to fill out my name and address and moved on to the payment section, this is what I discovered. Input Jack £3.10p UPS £30.59p Duties, Taxes & Fees £9.23p What an absolute joke, the total cost of getting a £3.10p part to me in the U.K. is £42.92p Quote
