Double Bass Stripped threads/thread chasing

I posted this picture and query on my Facebook page, I think the threads are stripped (or maybe flattened is a better term?) towards the end, I can't tighten it up enough to get sufficient tension on the hair. A couple people recommended a tool from Home Depot/Lowes to 'chase' the threads back up. Some others said that I won't find the right tool at these hardware stores. Does anyone here have experience with this?

The tool you’re referring to is called a tap and die set. Taps are used to cut threads in holes, dies are used to cut threads on metal bar stock to make them screws. The problem is you need to know the thread pitch and the thread count, and also whether metric or standard. I would guess that’s metric but that’s where my knowledge ends. Find a local machine shop, that’s what those guys do.

having said all that, it’s typical for the early threads to be shorter so they can begin to engage the threads on the nut properly. Nothing about that looks stripped to me. Furthermore, the eyelet that screws in to is brass, a much softer metal, this is by design. The eyelet will strip first every time. This saves the end of the stick from cracking. It’s fairly easily replaceable you just have to get the height right so the frog glides on the stick nicely.

So the real question is, what is the real problem? What problem are you having with the bow that you think this is stripped, if it’s not tightening it’s very likely the brass ferrule that’s stripped. Cheap fix. Cheaper than a tap and die set. But that’s still a symptom of a bigger problem, why are you tightening it tight enough to engage the safety features? Was it a one time boneheaded mistake or do you need to to do that everytime? It’s likely your hair is stretched and you need a rehair. Or the hair is too long….I don’t know, take it in to a pro, your bow needs a look by someone who knows.

$2.75 I have no idea how to get it adjusted correctly, but that is very likely the solution to your short term problem.

I’d still recommend a look by a legitimate bowmaker.

I thought maybe mine was stripped also on my German bow. But when I really looked into it, I realized I wasn’t getting the frog sufficiently pulled back far enough to catch the threads after loosening it after practice. It takes a little bit of pressure to pull the frog back towards the end of the stick to get the brass ferrul close enough to the threads to tighten. Once it’s tightened though, you should be able to get the hair to stiffen up. I wanna say this is because when it was rehaired, I believe it was cut too short, and didn’t allow the ability to loosen the hair up when not using. Now I’m just really careful how much I loosen it back up. Also, I think those threads look just fine. They don’t look damaged at all. Like @BassFalcon said, the ferrule is brass and much softer than those threads, so I doubt that they would be damaged.

On further inspection with the brass ferrule in the frog, the threads seem to hold fine, though there is more wear on the ones towards the end. Perhaps it is just time for a rehair? I don't practice/play much with the bow, though I would like to change that! Tightening the hair is no problem, the problem is when it is cranked all the way, the bow still bottoms out fairly easily.
