Locking jack / wireless transmitter assist please!

I play Fender Dimension basses with Boss' WL-20 wireless transmitter. Given the position of the output jack, I keep knocking the WL-20 with my leg whilst playing and thus the little spring-loaded prong on the WL-20 loses contact with the jack socket, switches off and silence ensues 😁

Moving the jack socket or changing to a strap mounted transmitter would solve, but the thought occurs that a Neutrik NJ3FP6C locking socket might fix things without woodworking / too many £££.

 

I've got an ancient Ibby BTB with one such socket to test this idea with, but when the WL-20 is plugged in there's still enough play on it to allow the WL-20 to be pulled out enough to switch off. I'm wondering, though, if that's maybe because my Ibby is 20 years old and heavily used!

 

Has anyone out there got a new(ish) Neutrik NJ3FP6C that can try the pull test, please? As in, does the jack pull out at all (obvs, without pressing the red release tab)? Fitting a socket in place of the existing one would still need some woodworking but not too much coz the standard Fender socket is already pretty chunky!

 

Thanks folks!

Thanks! Very much appreciated. On that basis, it’s worth a go I think, can try it without re soldering and worse case I’m down a tenner or so. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this, nice one!

Absolutely no problem.
