Bad input socket, is there a generic problem with these?
Of course I thought it was a PbF problem but it escaped that , leaded solder inside. Solder joints seem fine and no broken tag. Socket make not seen , not desoldered yet, maybe make underneath. The jack centre line is off-centre of the socket centre line , the sleeve contact is a barrel which is chromed and only makes contact with the now tarnished ground contact if the metal bush nut is tight and the 4 pointed grounding tangs are not bent and are making good contact with chassis metal. So 2 ways of loosing ground contact. With no bush nut the chromed barrel will rotate a few degrees and then just touching contact to the socket ground terminal . Of course I have the preamp out of the chassis now and so do not know what the initial state was other than the bush nut was not loose when received. All compounded by gallons of WD40 squirted everywhere that has certainly lost the tip and ring bypass contacts to ground with no jack inserted. I can see repeated tightening/ overtightening? of the metal bush nut plenty of spanner/wrench force can be applied as metal nut and metal bush) will deform the 4 tangs/ dig deeper pits into the front panel metal, until eventually no contact. An aside , why 2x 10 inch speakers for a bass amp? |

I expected some no-name Chinese make but no , it is Neutrik with this crappy
design. Reassembled preamp with the socket exposed and it was then obvious there is a third way to loose ground contact. There is no sprung contact to the sleeve of the jack , just rests on the chromed barrel , relying on the spring contacts of the tip and ring to supply pressure to keep the sleeve in contact with the inside and innermost small segment of arc of the chromed barrel . Even without WD40 , corrossion and general crud , because of the lever action, it takes very little upward force on the jack, at the cable end , to lift the sleeve and break contact. So failure mechanism probably went like this. Bad ground contact due to slack nut. Instead of tightening, owner squirts WD40 in there which pools in the lower surface of the barrel , collects crud, congeals etc. Eventually he tightens the nut , but by then its too late. A get by , on the road, solution to this would probably be some sort of reaming action inside the bush barrel |

Like the old 4 x 4 array of 4 inch speakers called 'sweet sixtenn' that had horrible resonances, but great bass. |

You can then have something like an interference fit between jack and barrel , so little or no play in any off-axis direction. Because the Neutrik is metal and metal there has to be a clearance fit and so its easy to break the sleeve contact. Another problem in waiting. One of the o/p TOP3 the thread on the alumininium "heatsink" block was stripped , presumably at production, not loose but could not take any normal tightening force. Had to fashion up a spring clip instead of the thru bolt |

You wouldn't just stick a PA speaker in there for instance, so maybe these are, or can be made, to be just as punchy? Dunno, I'm talking about something I don't know enough about. Gareth. |

The input was always bad from new, according to the owner, but got worse over the years. AFAICS no way could this design be of merchantable quality |

The Fender Bassman amp being discussed here has no connection whatsoever with the Fender Bassman of old - rather someone has bought the legal rights to use the Fender Bassman name on any amp they might choose to now have made in China.

Uses same asymetric (plug is not along centre line of the frame) low profile , probably Neutrik , but the sleeve contacts are proper sprung ones and the bush is plastic, not metal like the Bassman one With the Bassman one last week. If you wedged a couple of bits of plastic under the T & R bypass contacts then the sleeve of the plug would move about in the sleeve "contact" |
