Strap lock screw broke

I got some dunlop screw locks in the post today, which are my current preferred strap lock, so one set was for my new Elwood 24. Undid the front strap lock, put the new screw in, went to the back, turned the screw half a turn and then it came out - thought 'that was short' and the screw had completely broken in the body!

So what do I do now? I am not good at woodworking or anything, but I can't currently put another screw in, as half is in there already and I don't want to make loads of holes in my brand new expensive bass.

Get it down to your local shop/luthier
Tapping a reverse thread hole in whats left of the screw will get it out but takes specialist tools
And you dont want to mess your new bass up

I will contact him but realistically I am not going to send it back internationally to get a screw taken out. I just need to find someone in somerset who can do it, as it isn't somthing I feel comfortable doing
[/quote]Agreed it would be madness to send it back it is a really easy job to do if you take it to a tech with the right gear and it should only cost you a few quid :)
