Thanks for your replies. I decided to go with a male- female extension cord. It is not ideal, but it works. I like the idea about redco, beaglesandbass, but being located in Japan this was just a bit of expensive! T(e next time I make it to Tokyo I can stop by Ochanomizu and check out the...

Hi all: I have an Ibanez SR500 and the output jack is extremely recessed. I want to be able to plug in a Vox amPlug, but with such a recessed jack on the bass, the Vox amPlug can't be inserted. Given this, does anyone have any recommendations for an extension jack or cable to use in this...
