Jack socket is just too deep

[EJWW]

The jack socket on my Yamaha TRB is sunk too deep in the body side which means that I am unable to fully plug in my Boss WL50 wireless transmitter. 

Is there any quick fix I could use to get around this problem? I know that I could get a techie to move the socket closer to the surface but I've only just got it back from the repair shop and I could do without another trip so soon. 

I was thinking perhaps I could plug something into the socket which would stick out and thereby present me with another socket into which I could plug the transmitter?

Amy suggestions appreciated greatly!

Best wishes.

I have a similar issue with the socket on my Dingwall, I have a right angle cable that connects to my Shure wireless (it's a special cable) - it fits ok but if the cable swivels a couple of screws that are around the socket push the cable out a bit. Bloody PITA it is!

Got any pics of it? Just guess work without seeing it but if there’s not much in it, would adding a washer or 2 (or spacer of some kind) between body and socket give the clearance you need?

Would a Gretsch or Les Paul jack plate fit?

 

I’m not familiar with Yamahas.

Many thanks for the replies so far, I will add pics later today to clarify the problem.

It's about 2cm deep.

That's a nice looking socket, but crap for function.

Looks like @jrixn1 for the win!  unless you want to heavily modify your bass.
