I'd like to go individual this time instead of

2 meter length ought to do it.Â* Just looking for

Â*Are they unplugged often, or move ?

Try some Caig DeOxit or Gold on the plugs AND SOCKETS !

Maybe that is worth a go. I assumed the problem
was due to shorts in the molded plugs, as they have
been doing that to me since I picked up an electric
guitar in the early 80's.

I never considered that the contacts might need
service. Thanks for the suggestion.
