I have a pre-EB Musicman which has developed a horrible shorting like noise when I plug it in with certain jack-leads. I recall from another thread recently a basschatter talking about very slightly diffent sized jack plugs. Looking at what seems to make a difference with mine, using old leads where the jack-head has been screwed tightly into the plastic retainer causes the jack to sit very slightly further out (and does not short). Having taken the control unit off the Musicman, the whole jack socket assembly is an old sealed unit that I really don't want to muck about with. Has anyone else experienced his and/or what advice would you have?
