Hi, I just got a Shen sb100 two days ago at FMI shop in glendale, but I was tuning and looked then I found a problem that it doesn't have a screw on tuning machine. how can I get it? please look a photo that I attached.
I'll take a stab at it ... either call FMI and have them get you one even if they have to take it off another bass or call Shen and get one. You won't find one at Home Depot (but you might find something with the same thread that'll work temporarily)
Somebody on this forum likely can identify those tuners and give you some pointers on how to obtain an exact replacement. Until that happens, if functionality is your main concern at present, I suggest you remove the screw from one of the other machines and try to match the length and thread from the bins at your local hardware. The missing screw may even still be kicking around at the shop where you got the bass.
If you just got the bass, my first immediate thought is that you should contact FMI and have them replace it.
Ah come on... FMI...missing screw... one could even refer to it as "loose"...You can do it!
These are listed as being for Rubners; the guys at Upton would probably be able to tell you if they'll work with the Suzhou tuners:
