We need a special wrench. The pickup in my wife's UBass keeps coming loose, and we don't have a tool reach inside to tighten it properly. Does anyone know where to find such an animal?
Are you referring to a loose endpin jack, where the cord plugs in?
Thanks John, Mike, one of these could no doubt be the fix we need! I'd love to be the one to invent a jack that doesn't come loose by itself....
If it is the end pin jack, I bought this not long ago, a little awkward, but you get the hang of it, it works.

I have a friend who has had lots of jacks come loose. I watched him one day and realized he was in the habit of (unconsciously) giving the cable a slight twist every time he inserted or removed it. No wonder the jacks slowly unscrewed themselves. Might be worth checking to see if you've inadvertently developed the same habit!
And at any rate - I find that a tiny drop of loctite is effective in keeping them from loosening over time.
