I am looking for chrome screws like the ones that are used on the trim rings for a VP. The ones I need are the #2 that are approximately 7/16" thread length (fine threads). I found the following but it looks like coarse threads and a larger head. Any suggestions on sources?

This is one from my VP.

I have some small flat head style that sit flush in the ring. When I get home I’ll show a pic, and get you the P/N for them. Got them at Philadelphia Luthier.

It would be a magnificent conversion, especially if it was a more interesting color.

Not as an ersatz hearse.

It's prolly some metric anomaly from a country where the U.S. doesn't have a trade agreement in place.

Laura Lee from Khruangbin rocks an SX.

That's a very cool band!

Decolas will likely get shared among my DC and 21 NR.

one of the 21 NR’s will end up in my Florida Flamingo.

Which bass were the Decolas in?

What's the world coming to? A head shot and not a foot shot.

Right?

Fred has forever been my default name for strangers, characters, anyone I needed a guy name for. Women might be Mary or Jane, but never Maryjane.

Buddy is the default name I use.

They are still in the 2017 EB4

Buddy is the default name I use.

Bud, buddy, boss, bub...

Here are the ones in my ‘birds. (Just dropped this one off with SF Guitarworks)

This is different than what’s in a VP. Is this what you’d want to use?

I was looking for pan head to match what is there on all the other screws. Those look like wood screw heads.

 

[Ringhammer]

They are. I think technically you’ll want “round” head to match what you showed a picture of.

Hey guys, I got a Tbird pickup question for y'all if you don't mind.

I see that on Epiphone Tbirds, as well as the Embassy, there appears to be black spacers under the pickup mounting rings. Is there any way to buy these somehow? Either officially or aftermarket? I'm working on a project bass with Tbird pickups and I'd love to be able to get my hands on some. Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

 

[SubHuman]

Ok I figured I would really like this bass and I was right…

I’m also learning to like rounds on fretted.

the KB-1 came with chromes and I likes them.

the eb4 cames with elixers and I likes them too.

changed the knobs and it’s perfect.

I saw one in a sunburst on GC and they were calling it an EB-3! I didn't like it as much as the solid Red.
Of course you have to look at the source.

Does it come with a crack pipe and a pound of crack?

Paid half that with the case.

EB-3's are the SG body with the mudbucker + that poopy soapbar bridge pickup from the 70's

More recent ones with the mudbucker + poopy soapbar pickup are called SG basses.

Yes, a true pan head is flat. You are correct. My apologies.

With these you could put a bird on the bonnet. More than a few of these around at one time. They’d get you to the gig, or funeral, on time.
