Input Jack, Intonation and Drop Tuning.

[HF Theory]

Hey guys,

I've got this old bass that has got input jack issues, need to be replaced.

Plus, there is a hint of intonation.

How much for repair such as these?

Plus, I plan to use this bass for drop tuning, Drop C Tuning, how to maintain same or slight tension like it was standard tuning? Any advice? like strings choice or gauge..

Thanks in advance guys!

Well for the input jack, last time I was quoted around 20 bucks for a replacement at TY Music. So total cost was about 60 bucks (bass setup + replacement input jack). Maybe you can go down have them take a look and then request for a quotation?

As for the neck maintenance, I'm not too sure of it myself.. Sorry!

for drop tuning...try the new DR DDT, seems to be stable enuff to drop without string get too floppy.

Set the neck to aarow straight or a bit of a back bow, and raise the string saddles.
