I'm only suggesting angled plugs as a possible solution and to illustrate how the angled plug could mitigate damaging these output-jacks. I also use straight 1/4's but again, I am very careful and over-aware of my surroundings and that potential "hit" that might occur to the plug at the output-jack. I'll even go as far as to unplug the cable from my bass until I am ready to play. Plus, this also helps extend battery life. : )

Sounds alot like me. I'm very careful too.
Just wanted to hear if any body else also have noticed this compared to other brands but it seems like my basses has been exposed to something any how. Not just the jack that tends to wear out fast.

Well, if you bought them used, no tellin what type of history is behind them. Is it possible the issues you have were inherited?

I ment that they has been exposed to something and that it's not just the jack that has worn out by it self. Sorry for my english. Think i built the sentences as I would in swedish. May get another allusion in english when that's been done.
