wishface Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 This being the socket where you plug your lead in. Don't know the technical or latin name. Are there any cool tricks to keep it in place? I'll try and post some pics when its not late at night and I'm not tired. I've unplugged it to try and get a grip on the internal socket (so as not to pull on the wires) while I tighten the socket, but the way it's designed makes that difficult because the internal portion seems to be inside a frame of some kind and I can only pull the lead out so far. It's a Sire M7 bass, if that's any help Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silky999 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) Can you access the socket from the battery compartment? There should be a bolt on the internal side of the jack socket that probably needs nipping up. The photo is of the inside of my Ibanez SR800 battery compartment that I have stripped in preparation for the body to be vinyl wrapped. It shows the output socket. I took a load of pics to remind myself where all the wires go lol. There is a nut on the thread that holds it in place. Hopefully yours should be similar. Just use the appropriate spanner to tighten. It’s probably going to be imperial sizing as I think Sire is an American company? Edited January 30, 2020 by Silky999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baxlin Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Some may judge my method to be a tad Heath Robinson, but it will work. I put the nose of a pair of long nosed pliers into the socket, and gently open them, to grip the socket from the inside. Then tighten the nut with a spanner. As I said, HR, and I take no responsibility for any damage!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
