I recently purchased my first ESP F-series bass and absolutely love it, However, My Low B,E,A tuning keys starting loosening where the tuning keys are tightened to the neck. I have tightened them after restringing my bass. Now this weekend my D tuning key has stripped and will not tune. Have you had any issues with tuning keys in general loosening while playing or stripping out?

I had the exact same thing happen with my F205. After about 3 years, all the tuners apart from the A string tuner had stripped out. I just replaced the set.
