1987 ex factor bass guitar tech help

[bell1423]

need to replace my input jack on my, 87 ex factor bass,its a round cylinder ,or barrel ,about a inch or so long,has a nut on the inside,where you solder wires near the active board,and a round screw on the outside where you plug in the guitar cable.do you know the correct part number for that,and make?has a cracking noise when you put pressure on the guitar cable where input to guitar is.have cleaned ,but believe in the past it was step on an pulled some while playing.kubicki doesnt respond to emails on their site.they also dont seem to list parts.this bass was stored in my house since 1995,was bought in 1988,got it out plays great. decided to play in a band again.just like a bicycle,once youve done it can do it again.believe i play better now than i ever did.was a long break,got frustrated,with the business end of playing,and crazy musicians. rb

I would just give a quick call or send and email to Phil Kubicki. He's a very friendly guy and will tell you exactly the part you need, or perhaps even send one to you.

I received the ,152 b,switchcraft, input jack,for a 1987 x factor bass,removed old input jack,used 14 mm flat small wrench,pulled out input jack,clipped three wires, leaving enough of the colors on the old jack,for reference.clipped some of the connectors on the end of the new jack,so they would be the same length as the ones on the old jack.has three wires to solder,red ,green,black,the green looks to be the ground.soldered the three wires to the new input jack,being careful not to short ,from one to the other,very close to one another.slid jack back into the bass guitar ,spread a drop of thread locker,to where i tighten the nut on the inside,just to make sure the nut doesnt work loose later.checked bass guitar,all was well.ready to put the 22 yrs old bass back to work.Thanks r b

I wonder if it's the same for the Fender Jazz Bass Plus with Kubicki preamp?

P.S. It's an output jack, not an input jack. ;-)
