Jack On Bongo Loose and Squalking

[HEWLIO]

I don't think the cable is the problem. What happens is if i move a little and the cable gets pulled in the tinniest bit i get some major fuzzing(not constant fuzz, just like im plugging in) or low volume. Then ill have to play with it to get sound back.

Are there any solutions to this problem im having? Thanks

most likely a plug or jack problem. Loose connection or something. Try a different cable first. If that don't fix it, time to have the jack checked.

On a funny side note, I was hoping for a video of Jack playing with CowPilot.

No doubt!

First thing I thought of was Jack on a webcam with a few martinis under his belt playing a Bongo.

Even I was thinking, "Oh my, what did I do now?"

If it's not the cable, replace the output jack and you're back in bidness.

the output,

I do get some grief (from the spouse of all people particularly) but I went wireless a year ago and haven't looked back.
Why? Because I'm a geezer (old guy, c'mon!) and I'm tired of tripping over my cable and either going radio silent or damaging the cable and getting those nice suprise squeals at inopportune moments.

Maybe the jack is loose from inside, but that's gonna be impossible to know for us.
Check the jack for yourself or take it to somebody who knows more and you can trust.

Jack, your name has become inseparably associated with the Bongo - I thought there was Cowpilot material inside this post, too.

As mentioned before, try a different cable, then have a good tech look at the jack. If all else fails, call Customer Service toll-free 866-823-2255

Hmm...

I was thinking that maybe it was a north-south thing, like the Coriolis Effect, with output jacks north of the equator and input jacks south of the equator. Now I'm wondering if it has something to do with the Prime Meridian.

I'm so confused.

To the OP - replace the jack, whether it's an innie or an outie.

Ken...

Not sure how old the bass is...first order of business is to take it back to the dealer. Let them sort it out if possible. If not, they will tell you what to do. Which means...Customer Service. however, first and foremost...take it back to your dealer and let them look at it. Simple as that.
