mikegrovesmusic Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 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.. Quote
FlatEric Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Hi. What bass is it and what size key fits? How long are the grub screws? Might be able to help. Quote
ikay Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Grub screw sizes are anything but universal unfortunately. If you can put up a picture of the bass and a close-up of the bridge along with details of model/year etc that would help. Quote

deepbass5 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 [quote name='deepbass5' timestamp='1324574720' post='1475852'] 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 This picture is before replacement [attachment=95726:Schackbridge.JPG] [/quote] Quote
