Monckyman Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Where would I find these and what exactly are they called? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Stu Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) In a music shop saddle screws as you call them should get a result, at an engineering place "grub screws" is a common name [url="http://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/?searchTerm=grub+screws&cm_mmc=UK-PPC-0212-_-01_Fasteners-_-grub_screws-_-grub_screws"]http://uk.rs-online....s-_-grub_screws[/url] You may be as well & find it as easy to buy a set of saddles cheap off Ebay etc. & get the screws with them, though you'd have to be careful with thread match if your saddles are old or USA. Fender do shitloads of spares on cards, I'd be surprised if they aren't available that way. http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/screws_bridge.htm Edited September 11, 2012 by Big_Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I bought some of these recently on eBay that were fine.

ikay Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Allparts - http://www.allparts.uk.com/online-shop/guitar-bass-parts/hardware/screws-and-springs/bridge-screws-and-springs/saddlebridge-height-screws-c-277_1_47_69_71_72.html If it's for a Fender USA bass then the saddle screw thread is imperial (UNC 6-32). Standard length is 7/16" but allparts also do 5/16" and 1/4" if you want some a bit shorter. If it's for a non-USA Fender or other type of bass chances are it will be metric (probably M3) but you'll need to match the screw size/thread type.

rogerstodge Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Anyone know which screws for my jap jazz bass?, they're too long and dig into my hand when playing with a pick. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
