Any particular place on the socket?[/quote] On a P bass the jack socket has two connection points. One of them connects to the tip (stick a jack lead into the socket and you'll see which connection that is). The other one connects to the 'sleeve' part of the jack plug - that's where your earth needs to connect to. ...if you can be bothered to solder it of course...
