Bits and pieces - screws and such

[Bassowner35]

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.

StewMac or Warmoth in the US, or Thomann in Germany should have exactly what you need.

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

I agree with Geoff, Axesrus have been a godsend since i started tinkering with P basses. My 'go-to' online store now

Thanks everybody. I'll try the wee local shop first and then investigate the others.

I needed to pick up some screws for some tuners this week and tried a few wee DIY shops and electronics shops and ended up in Rapid axesrus for me next time I think!
