Headphone adapter broke into output

Sign in to disble this ad
So. I was playing bass and I plugged in my headphones to the amp, when I tried to pull the headphones out, only half of the headphone adapter came out, so now I have half of a headphone adapter stuck in a bass amp. which makes it unable to make sound because its still trying to play through the headphones. any ideas on how to get it out?

Hard to tell what part of the adapter is left? just the tip?

Un-plug it, you can try to put the rest of the adapter carefully back in and see if it grabs it or just use tweezers or needle nose pliers to remove what was left behind.

UNPLUG IT FIRST!

Hi.

What jazzblade said.

Especially the part about UNPLUGGING the amp before digging in.

Regards
Sam

+2 to the above suggestions, but If that doesn't work you may find you could thread an appropriately sized (Drywall, Wood or Sheet-Metal) screw a short distance into the center hole of your stuck plug/adaptor, and then use the screw to pull right out.
