Question No idea how this happened...

Sign in to disble this ad
Lately, I'd noticed that my bass has seemed a bit off so I decided to give her a thorough check to see if anything was in need of repair. After a few minutes, I discovered that I'm actually missing one of my bridge saddle height screws.
Anyway, I have no idea how to go about replacing/adjusting this piece and I don't want to screw anything up. I have an Ibanez GSR200

Or check your local hardware stores. Take one in and match it.

When you re-set them, put a drop of clear nail polish on each screw to prevent it from coming loose.

Dude mine were striped and it took me months of looking to find set screws. I called every Homdepot and ACE within 50 miles I needed 20 and one store that was far away only had 11 a month later that same store had 9

You should be able to get replacement screws from a hardware store. But it will have to be a "Mom &Pop" type hardware store and probably not the hardware dept. at a Home Depot or Lowe's. And be wary that these screws being on an Ibanez product, could very well be metric. )-(
