holy shit.....what a pain in the ass......when you don't have any of the trick tools (anymore) to work on guitars.
every time i tried to get the solder on the tab.....the damn jack would start scooting away. i finally had to go dig out the gadget i use to take hooks out of fish mouths to clamp on the prong of the jack to make the damn thing hold still.
back when i was a guitar/bass tech i had a bench and a guitar cradle and all kinds of tools and trick gadgets and a short stand with a jig set up with different clips JUST FOR soldering stuff.
i forgot how much of a PITA it is to try to work on guitars with only car tools ....OMFG
at least it's done and in now......and not too soon, we play again on friday night.
