Popped a peg on a US jazz, help!

[pjbass]

Yep, public transport and a not entirely sober bass player has resulted in a broken machinehead on my s-1 jazz.

I've had a search online, but so far i've only found "bass parts resource" which is in the US. Does anyone know a place in the UK that can sell me a single OEM replacement?
ta much,
Paul

Try any decent Fender dealer for a badged replacement. Probably to order in but should be available.
We have a few single Schaller (often used on Fender) in the shop.
Someone on BC may be selling one.

Just to let you know, Bass Parts Resource are good to deal with, a number of us have used them in the past, obviously you'll have to wait the 4/5 weeks for it to come from across the pond, but no problems when I've used them.

I tried everyone on Denmark today and had no joy, even though Rose Morris is a fender dealer - will try the Bass Gallery tomorrow.

Have you tried the bassdoc? He has things like this from time to time.

I haven't used the Bass Parts Resource for a couple of years but my last order of a set of ashtrays and a NOS j pickup arrived in about 4 days! Obviously I was just lucky I guess, but the previous time I am sure it was no where near the 4/5 weeks delivery time.

I have some spares (from the Bass Doc who rescued me when I was in a similar situation). Post a pic of the tuner in question and if it's the right one you're sorted. By the way, a few weeks back I ordered from BPR on a Monday and the part arrived on the Thursday. 4 days from the states!

If you have a spare you don't mind getting rid of that would be great, if not it's a relief to hear i wont need to wait too long to get my bass in tune again!

Thanks for the suggestions guys

Yup - Beedster's yer man - that's the very same type of head I was able to supply a little while back.

I love Basschat.

[pjbass]

Me too - Beedster's very kindly sent me a spare he has so it won't be long before i'm back up and running.
Thanks to all posters and especially Beedster!
