Wonderful! I just got that same bass (in 5-string) and will def do this. Thanks. Done. T8 Torx worked for me, didn't have a 9 but 8 felt like a good fit.
Sad to report it didn't work for me. After "disarming" the locking mechanism, I got an intermittent connection. I ended up replacing the whole thing with a Switchcraft E11PKG plate, which bolted in perfectly. I replaced the 1/4" female connector it came with, with a standard 1/4" barrel jack, which is a more robust jack. It requires a larger hole in the plate, so you'll need a step drill bit to enlarge the hole. Soldered everything up, and it works like a champ.
@@elisabethkolling6697 Sorry to hear that, could it be that you didn't fully secured the ground prong on the jack with the screw? Maybe the ground got loose and was touching the signal wire occasionaly. That's the only thing I can think of that could cause an intermitting signal
Similar issue here. Without the lock the plug waggled around in the jack and I had noise (seemingy unrelated to the wiggle). I put the Neutrik lock back the way it was and still it's acting like the main volume pot is dirty. Weird. UPDATE: Turns out mine had a bad volume pot. [It's a dual, the passive one was fine.] If you ever need parts look up IBANEZRULES. Very responsive.
THANK GOD. That was bugging me on my BTB so much.
Useful as ever!

Finally a simple solution to that annoying output-jack! Nevertheless the EHB is a great bass...
Thank you so much and greetings from germany :)
