Parts for a 7/8" side jack route?

[ferranster]

Hi,

I'm anxiously waiting for my warmoth body, wich has a side jack route (7/8").
Do you guys know which jack socket do I have to get for that? Warmoth site says this:

"Intended for use with the Square Jack Plate, SJP1C style, or the Electro Socket, ES1C style."

If I'm not wrong the Electro Socket has the socket and the jackplate all together.
What about if I want to use the Square Jack Plate? Which jack socket should I get?


Any advice appreciated.

Cheers

well depending if your using passive or active electronics, itll either be the mono jack(Passive) or the stereo jack(Active) which then attaches to the Square Jack Plate.

I see, I'll keep it in one place next time.

Any ideas on the parts thou?

Btw, it's going to be passive.

Well then you would need this one to go with the square jack plate.

You can use the MJ1 http://www.warmoth.com/Mono-Jack-By-Switchcraft-P122C68.aspx  which is the most common, or for a premium option use the PWSJ http://www.warmoth.com/Planet-Waves-Stereo-Jack-Gold-Plated-P733C68.aspx (without using the jack cover. That's what I use). 

You can use either of these jacks with both the Square Jack Plate or the Football Jack Plate.

The Planet Waves jacks work especially well.  I use them on most of my Gecko basses.
