broken tip

[humpfrey]

as i wrote , the tip is stuck in that little chamber at the end of the module because it fell down ,and i can't drill it open because there's a part welded right in front of the back plate.

You may have to get out the Dremel, as I don't even see the jack available on their site.
Or maybe you can go to an aftermarket type...?

I feel your pain!

If you remove the two nuts from the front of the jacks, the backplate should come off. You can then de-solder the jack from the PCB if needed for more room to work and then carefully cut or drill the back open to get the stuck piece out.

A decent local luthier or amp tech could likely help with this too if you don't have the soldering gear and/or skills.

if it would only be so easy

 

[humpfrey]

tried to drill it open , but there's solid metal and i'm afraid to ruin something

 

[humpfrey]

yes , they replied , but the number of the spare part wasn't the right one . waiting for more news. and the fact , that i live in europe doesen't make the things easier. time difference

yes , but the tip slid into a little chamber in the plastic piece and turned around. but i reached music man and the people there were very helpful and they send me the replacement to switzerland yeahhhhh , only the soldering gives me a headache , but i think i have a good luthier close to my place wich could do it .let's rock

Replacing the part was/is probably best. The soldering won’t be bad.
