New Input Jack

I need to solder a new input jack into my back-up bass for tonight, but I don't know what material to use to solder it. I know lead is commonly used to solder but I didn't know if that would conduct properly in this situation. Any suggestions?

just make sure to get rosin core and not acid core solder, and you'll be fine
