End pin/Strap button Dilema

[Skan]

Hey,

I recently decided to start learning to play bass again, and when i dusted off my bass i realised that the strap button at the bottom of my bass was missing. so i headed to the internet and started googling trying to find a replacement.

I have a tanglewood warrior mk2 bass that i got 4 years ago. its black with a nice silver finish on anything metal, so i was looking for a silver strap button or 2 so they didnt look out of place on my bass.

I found what i thought i needed on ebay and bought it but the screw was way too thin.

Can anyone give me some advice on what to get/where to get it, i only wasted a couple of quid so thats no biggy.

Thanks

Skan

Just get a pair of straplocks, strings direct or stringbusters both sell accessories, and deliver pretty quickly.

It's apretty standard replacement part, pop into your local guitar shop I'm sure they'll have one.

Also when you replace it use some wood glue or Epoxy resin (which I prefer) this should stop the wood splitting further when you put n the new screw
