Switchcraft may be known for quality, but plugs and jacks not. Neutrik makes good plugs, the solution is still somewhat cheapo, but it is the standard today.

Pure Tone are my favourite jack socket. Any bass or guitar I acquire that doesn't already have a switchcraft or other quality socket gets a pure tone. I don't wait for the stock one to fail - in my exerience the flimsy ones as fitted to squiers etc are likely to fail at some point - possibly at an inconvienient time.

I have always wondered about those. I fit TRS jacks to my basses, even the passive ones. The redundant sleeve contact helps hold the plug straight, making a better contact. However I might just try one of these.
