Input jack fell into bass

Meh, don't worry about the INPUT jack, as long as the OUTPUT jack is in place, you're good to go.

Should I put a rag around the neck to keep from scratching it before I clamp it up?

Oh and BTW, for the quickest wood removal you wouldn't go through the bunghole to get to the brain would you? Just take a gouge and go in from the from the back so it won't show. If you wind up with a big hole you don't like, fill it with bacon grease mixed with sawdust. Pack that puppy nice and tight and just paint over it.

Last of all, I'm planning to weld my jack to the plate to avoid this problem in the future. Any tips on how to keep from setting my finish on fire while I'm welding? I thought about maybe doing it under water to insure no fires, but realized I don't have a deep enough pond available.

This actually made made me laugh out loud and I cried a little.

I like the way you think!
