Where would I get these(best place...)?

[AMalis91]

So basically I came across a bass, but one of them is missing the little screws that let you adjust the string height(but the rest are fine).
Where is the best place to buy them? Is there a specific site, or would one of you have the measurements(if they have them at Home Depot/Lowe's)?

Thanks in advance,
Alex

Allparts maybe?

Not sure if you can buy the screws individually, but I know you can buy the saddles. I assume they come with the screws!

BASS TELE SADDLE HEIGHT SCREWS 4 PIECES | eBay would THAT be what I need?
Kinda convenient, Brooklyn to NJ should be next day, and it's not more than what I need.

Go to guitar and jack a few from a Squier or something.

Why buy something when you can steal it instead! Seriously? :scowl:

How about your local hardware store, its a set screw.

Stewart-MacDonald carries them: stewmac.com

They are a great company to deal with, too.

ACE hardware. Take a sample set screw in and match it.

Well, I got my Jazz bass when I lived in Brooklyn, and it was missing a few things (4 saddle set screws and 2 knobs), and between Rudy's and the Alleva-Coppola store, I found everything quick and easy.
Seriously, head to 48th street and have fun.

I must go to the wrong hardware stores. I've never had any luck matching any guitar fastener at a hardware store... It's a nice sounding idea though.

a good truevalue hardware store will have them. the older MIM ones had 6-32 threads and the newer MIM ones are metric.

I had the same problem. Went to ACE and they didn't have anything. Nowhere in town did, either. Just ended up ordering a new bridge lol.

Hey who said anything about theft?! I was implying that he ask a GC salesman for some, uh, good faith service .

Do the hardware store screws have radiused tips?

I don't think so!

Radiusing saddle screw substitutes is among my least-favorite shop jobs.

I'm amazed at how cheap bridges always come with setscrews rather than saddle screws.
