I have a problem with my input: I don't have an input.
So I was wondering if it works to use some insulation tape to tape the wires to a jack?
Please tell me if this incredibly stupid, or genius?
a wall jack? as in power?
or guitar jack?
guitar jack, the one which connects the guitar to the amp by a wire. And by 'wires' i mean those 2 cables that would usually connect the circutry to the input
You mean there's no jack to plug a cable into the guitar? How did that happen? You can tape the guitar circuitry if you like, but you'll get better results if you learn to solder them. Don't mess around inside the amp, but you can't really do anything dangerous inside the guitar.
listen to the poll.
no tape.
soldering to a jack is a basic job. good practice if you never soldered before.
jacks are very inexpensive.
and soldering isnt that hard if you understand the basics.
a simple search on the web well give you all te info you may need.
how is it that a guitar doesnt have a jack. yanked out? and two wires showing?
it's simple. learn to do it correctly.
then all you need is a guitar cord, plug into an amp and you're there.
that reminds me of an urban legend. a guy walks into Guitar Center. he tells the salesman to bring out the best electric guitar they have.
the salesperson brings down a Les Paul goldt top and asks the guy if he wants a cord to test it out.
the guy says, 'no time, I'll take the cord and I gotta go'.
off he goes.
two hours later he is back at the store. the salesperson asks whats wrong. the guy says the guitar doesnt work at all.
back to the shop it goes and moments later the tech comes out.
he says the inside of the guitar is fried, all burned to a crisp.
'what did you do?'
the guy says he got it home and when he went to plug in the guitar he saw that the cord didnt fit right. 'so I cut off one end and solder a two prong plug on it so it would fit my wall outlet'.

Thanks for the advice guys! I think i blew the fuse in the soldering iron though...
You're gonna think im genius for my next query...
I managed to err... break the back of my guitar neck on my other guitar. The necks splintered and the trussrod had completely bent. It's been in repair at a guitar shop up in Denmark Street for nearly a year now and I'm starting to lose hope. What should I do?
(The guitar in question is an Aria Pro II)
I'm pretty sure the Aria has a bolt on neck if so you can buy one from Stew-Mac.
