Bassowner35 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Hello all I expect, being a knowledgeable bunch, that you could point me in the direction of a place where I can find small pieces such as screws for a pickup.. I notice that on my recently purchased Westone bass guitar one of the screws in the pickup is missing. It's quite possible that the screws are a perfectly standard size and that I could find one in a hardware shop. I could ask in the local music shop, I suppose, but I expect that there is a supplier that guitar repair people regularly use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkstrike Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 StewMac or Warmoth in the US, or Thomann in Germany should have exactly what you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 in a lot of things the net is wonderful, for impossible to get old things the bass chat community is wonderful. For screws and wee things like that I tend to think it's better to support the wee local shops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
