I’ve got a jazz bass that has a side output jack that I’m going to relocate to the control panel on the front. Is there someone that makes a solid football jack plate?

Yeah, they’ve got a bunch, but I’m looking for one without the hole. Just a solid oval.

No, the metal plug is 3/8” and fits in the hole on the oval end plate the Jack was fastened to.
Oh, I didn’t realize that. That might just be the way to go if I can’t find a solid oval plate. Thanks!
Consider an electro socket & switchcraft Jack in place of the football style unless you just want to have a control plate mounted Jack.
I’ve been happy changing to these from football style & Tele cup style jacks.

I’ve got an active/passive jazz, but I never use the active circuit so my idea was to just go all passive and use a regular jazz control plate with the plate mounted output jack.
I thought about just using a three hole control plate and keeping the side jack, but it looks odd with the offset distancing between holes, so I’m opting for the standard control plate.
Yeah, I tried that one. It’s the one that looks goofy with the offset holes. I may be nitpicking, but I didn’t like the aesthetic of it.
