bcbass Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 I have American deluxe Jazz from 2003 and saddle screws are worn to be useless, to adjust action.Looked online for shops to get them and pretty much very little info wich screws are right for my bass guitar.Only Rattle and Drum have screws to fit Fender bridges,but they are not sure will they fit on mine bridge.Anyone have had same or similar experience and knows where to get right screws. Thank you for any help or info. Quote
ikay Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 US saddle screws are typically 6-32 UNC thread and 7/16" or 1/2" long (like these from Allparts) https://www.allparts.uk.com/products/bridge-saddle-height-screws-for-bass-hex-head-us-1-2-inch Quote
bcbass Posted January 25, 2018 Author Posted January 25, 2018 Yes,but had a chat with R&D shop ,which have those,and they are not sure this will fit saddles on deluxe bridge.For me looks OK,but this is why I'm asking,maybe somebody had same problem. Quote
ikay Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 I've got an American Deluxe bridge and have just tried a saddle screw which I know to be 6-32 UNC on it and it's a perfect fit. As long as they're a 6-32 thread the ones from R&D should be good. Quote
bcbass Posted February 3, 2018 Author Posted February 3, 2018 Received saddles,but unfortunately they don't fit.They are thicker a bit,so not going through barrels.On package says original Fender product?Those 6-32/7-14".Search is on again. Quote
ikay Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) Hmm, that's a bit odd, 6-32 thread definitely fits my deluxe saddles. Is it possible the threads in the saddle have been crossed or somehow damaged? Edited February 3, 2018 by ikay Quote
bcbass Posted February 4, 2018 Author Posted February 4, 2018 At closer inspection of screws, threds on new one are wider than on older,and this is why they can go thru, only with force.(My old Eyes ).Managed to fit one but will avoid to do with the rest, barrel threads will be damaged.Old one are black(colour) and new one chrome?Funny business.

ikay Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 The saddle height and intonation screws on mine are also black. I've just checked mine again and a 6-32 thread definitely fits. Sounds to me like the screws you've been sent are simply the wrong size (possibly metric?) whatever it says on the pack! Quote
bcbass Posted February 14, 2018 Author Posted February 14, 2018 Sorted,at last.Found product number for my bass,and rest was easy-peasy,ordered from All parts and screws fit nicely.Very good this Fender Deluxe Jazzes,very happy with guitar. Quote
ikay Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Good to hear! What was the part number out of interest? Quote
bcbass Posted February 14, 2018 Author Posted February 14, 2018 Hi Ikay,thank you for your help. Part No:0021093049 or 0021093000,difference in last 3 digit is colour:black or chrome. Quote
