Phil Jones combos and those knobs that stick out - do they get bumped or knocked off?

I'm pretty much a Markbass guy, but I've been eyeing some of the smaller Phil Jones combos for practice and small gigs because they are less expensive or less weighty than the smaller Markbass ones (which is really only the Micromark, because the Minimark weighs more than my CMD121p which I already have). But so many of Phil Jones rigs seem to have the amps just blapped on the outside with the two "handles" on either side. Granted I'm very protective of my gear, but I worry that if I carry that anywhere, one wrong move and those knobs are gonna get dinged. For example, I like the idea of the double four, but this is one reason why I've only looked at the BG-100 in that range.

So - Phil Jones users - seen any issues in that regards?
