Hi,

Can anybody help me please. I decided that my action needed some tweaking today, however my bass is rather old so through wear the bit where you put the allen key in to adjust has worn :/

I want to replace all 12 grub screws (on my sixer) and have looked on ebay for a pack. The problem is there are different sizes. Can anybody help me with this? I'm pretty sure its a universal thing on all guitar bridges as the same alan key fits allen.

If you could post a link up to some or just give me the name it would be a massive help :)

Thanks in advance,
Mike..

Just want to let you guys know about a company that supplies grub screws. www.Modelfixings.com in Nottingham

My issue was I found that one saddle on my Schack bridge had a damaged thread and the saddle would not sit at the height I wanted. This was due to the stock grub screw being too short and when fully adjusted was only held by the last couple of threads. These I believe got damaged by the bass falling over in its case face down. So the highest saddle gets the full wack.

Anyway I have found these 8mm stainless steel M3 screws and now all my saddles are adjusted and the grub screws occupy the full thread.

cost just £5 pounds for fifteen and an M3 key
