Loose jack socket - p bass

Hi all. My P bass jack socket keeps coming loose - the nut keeps unwinding. I’m happy to fix it myself as although this is my first guitar I am very handy. 
I was thinking - are there better jack sockets I could replace it with if I take the pick guard off to tighten it properly? I have read the standard ones aren’t the best so may as well do it at the same time. I’m ok with soldering etc.

Good point, I probably have some already. They aren’t very nice looking things with the exposed threads etc. 

Put the washer under the pickguard, all the advantages of spring tension without having to look at it. Put a normal, thin washer on top, under the nut for added security and less thread showing.
