Mono or stereo Jack in my HA3500?

I am wondering if there would be any difference in the sound by using stereo cable over my current mono cable.

From what i can tell my bass is stereo output, atleast it has 3 wires connected (checked inside the bass). so should i get a stereo jack cable to my amp?

Does my Hartke HA3500 have stereo input jacks?

Hope you got my questions :)
 
The inputs on the ha3500 are mono. Your bass is likely mono also, if you have 3 wires going to your output jack you likely have active electronics and the 3rd wire is battery power. The jack will be a stereo output jack but that is only because it acts like an on off switch to your basses pre amp when your mono cord is plugged in. A stereo cord will do nothing for you except your bass pre amp might not get any power from the battery if you use one.
