Guess you have to open it up, put it in place and screw the nut and washer (if there was one) on. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I had my cable still in the amp and I wasn't playing through it, I stepped on the cable and it broke the ring off. ALl I can say is take it to a music shop or send it to get it repaired.

Well, theres a lot of different screws everywhere on the amp and i don't have a clue where to get started and where to stop to even get it off oh btw the amp is a Fender "Champion" 110...it's my uncles I'm nervous to take it apart and i don't have the money to take it and get if fixed...actually i'm not quite sure how much it would even cost! sigh my guitar's bridge (e string) piece is broken, my whammy bar broke off into the guitar, my pedals are bad, and both of my cables are going old. I've had em for probably like 3-5 years and no telling how old the amp is. I guess i just have extremely bad luck. Any Help/Comments? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
