Órale,
Are the intonation screws on the BadAssII or BadAssIII Standard or Metric? Can they be gotten at any Ol' Hardware store?

Either would be readily available.

Todd is exactly right. Just remove one of the screws and carry it with you to match up. Ask for help in the hrdwr store, they can measure the screw to make sure that you get the right size.

I'm not saying that Todd and pkr2 are wrong, but it's improbable that you will find the exact same screw at a hardware store. I'm sure the thread and size are normal, but the shape of the head of the screw is a bit odd, as is the length.

Órale Fella's,
I was given a set of BAIII saddle's to go with bridge I got off E-bay. It did'nt come with the intonation screw's or spring's, and I was just wondering if the intonation screws were metric or standard size, and if I could go to my local Hardware store to get them. Allpart's has the saddles and screws for $15.00 a saddle, and I lucked out from a generous Bassist who had some saddles he did'nt need!

All my bridges (G&L, EBMM, and another kind) are all just set screws. You can measure screw pitch pretty easily and match it up.
