Mzungu71 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hello, I need to get a new part for my bass. Please see the attached picture. as you can see it's the plate holding the input jack that has broken meaning I need a new one. It's black (my bass is the Japanese All Blk model) Anyone know where I can get hold of one and if i need a whole new assembly. Thanks PS the silver bits are just from the gaffer tape which has been manfully holding the assembly together for the last few days, Thank God for gaffer tape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Looks like you could cut some black plastic (scratchplate offcut?) and warm it a little to make a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~tl Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 You'd be better off replacing it with a metal one – since it's much less likely to break again in the future! AxesRUs have a version that look like it'd do the job: [url="http://www.axesrus.com/axeElectronicsJacks.htm#JackPlates"]http://www.axesrus.com/axeElectronicsJacks.htm#JackPlates[/url] They come with a replacement socket, but there's no need to replace the one that's there (if it's still working).
