keef71 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Hi Folks, I recently put a replacement pickup in my P-bass and the pickup screws from the original were too short. I purchased some new longer screws from Axes R Us and the screws were of terrible quality..very soft and the screw head damaged immediately. I would like to purchase high quality screws. Can anybody help with hardware /fastenings supplier who could supply these and any other screws in the future? Thanks Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I've used North West Guitars for various parts and the quality has always been good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keef71 Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 They don't seem to list what I want. Can anyone help with high quality pickup screws that aren't made of solder soft poor quality steel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donslow Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 For what it's worth, my local PMT and even independent music shops both have "spares drawers" just boxes and drawers of odds and sods, commonly found in the shops that have "repair" or "set-up" departments A few times I've taken what I want there and had a finger through and found what I needed, They normally let things like screws and springs go for pennies, 20p here 50p there worth an ask if your passing......

Thunderbird Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I have to fix tons of burred screws for people and 9 times out of 10 its there own fault the screw gets chewed up as the newer screws are often thicker than the old ones and people just try to ram them in the hole then chew the head and blame the screws for being poor quality lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
