Strap peg coming loose.

It looks like the screw just isn't holding it anymore. The peg on this particular bass. Edit: Was going to say it's on the back instead of on a hook or near the side.. (it's an explorer) I switched out the original pegs for a strap lock kit and it's just not holding up anymore..

Does anyone have any suggestions? Maybe a filler or something I could use that would set in and let me drive another screw in effectively?

toothpick.
Put it (or a piece of it) in the hole, screw the peg back in and it will hold until the end of time.

Wow, must have come out durring your sleep in ryleh (your name) anyway, Relic is right, either matchsticks or toothpics, fill the hole as much as you can with them and some glue, scew it back in

Haha.. I have the fat toothpicks here at home.. I didn't even bother with glue. I just stuck one down in there and screwed it back in.. Not a twitch from it since.. and I played on it a good 4 hours yesterday...

You guuys rock.
