1 1/2" pickup screws?

Sign in to disble this ad
Any idea where can I find pickup screws that are at least 1.5" long? I can only seem to find 1.25" ones at the usual locations, and the Home Depot type stores don't have the #4's that long. The #6's look too wide....

I'm having a heck of a time finding black 1 1/2" pickup screws. bestbassgear.com is currently out of stock. Anyone know of a place? I ordered the only ones that StewMac seems to have but they are too short. Seems to be hard to find the longer 1 1/2" ones. Home Depot and the local hardware stores didn't have anything even close.

You never said what kind of pickup you need screws for. No all pup screws are the same.

Hey Rocky,

I think I have ordered the ones I need. I need #4's that are 1 1/2" in length (and black) - most that I found are 1 1/3" or 1 1/4". The pickups are Dimarzio Ultra Jazz but I think these screws that I need are regarded as "soapbox" pickup style screws. My bass is a MiM Jazz. Anyway, I think I'm good.

Ah crud...just got an email from guitarelectronics.com saying that the black ones are back ordered. I guess everyone gets them from the same supplier and the supplier is out. So...I'm back to looking for the #4 1 1/2" screws in black.

EDIT: Disregard this. Screws are on there way. Thanks guys.
