Beer of the Bass Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago The moulded jack socket on my KNA DB-1 pickup has started playing up, I think one of the contacts has lost it's springiness, the plug sits loosely in it and crackles intermittently. I like the pickup otherwise, so I'm happy enough to fit a new socket on there and stick with it. But I'm wondering what the best available line jack socket is. Some of the US made pickups come with Switchcraft jacks which I can't find over here, the locking Neutrik jacks are huge and won't fit in my jack clamp, otherwise there's the Rean model or acoustic guitar type endpin jacks with the strap pin washer removed. Which to choose? Quote
Hellzero Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago They are all crap, really, because of the design as it's just a disguised barrel jack. I'm using these barrel jacks with great longevity for many years: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Alnicov-Stereo-Copper-Guitar-Cylinder/dp/B08L69K6QH/ Quote
