I soldered/

is it a 50's era Fender -- NOPE-- but for the price difference -- it is DAMN GOOD ENOUGH for me---

I was surprised at the build quality -- its a very nice bass-- all the cavities are painted with shielding -- its very quiet (hum wise) -- the small frets make it play damn near effortlessly
 
I used the US spec original Electrosocket and fitted a Switchcraft jack to his MIJ Telecaster as the original jack was in bad shape. Removing the funny clip gives the added benefit of being able to simply remove the two Electrosocket screws and service the jack if needed in the future. Normally with the clip in place you have to remove the control panel and take the jack out that way, after disassembling the jack cup on the outside. It pulls out with needle nose pliers and makes a satisfying noise when it hits the rubbish bin

I followed these videos



The first video is much more useful but the second one does show how the clip is in there. Best thing is just to pull it straight out and use a nice Switchcraft jack and the StewMac socket

It is a nice touch Godin makes their Jacks the same way with the lock and screws, on their Factory guitars.
