    Jazz Bass Pickguard vs Control Plate Screws

    Hey TalkBass! First, if this question is in the wrong forum please feel free to move it. I think it's in the right place though. Quick question: are the screws on a jazz bass pickguard the same as those for the control plate? I have a 1999 Fender MIM jazz bass and a previous owner put a...

    Screw dimensions/specs for trussrod cover?

    I got a bass with double trussrods, but no cover. While I could easily enough 3D print a nice cover, I realized that the pickguard screws I have are a bit too fat and probably long, for this application. The pickguard screws don't fit even a little bit. Could some of you ladies or gents tell me...

    Broken screws in hollowbody... what would you do?

    Dear TB Hivemind, I have recently acquired an old (late 60's) hollowbody bass. I have been stripping it down to clean it of decades of gunk. A previous owner (maybe even the factory?) made a couple of attempts at locating the pickup ring, and has left three broken screws, one in each of three...

    Alternatives for Fender T-Handle Wrench

    I have two questions regarding truss rod adjustments on an American Professional (jazz) bass. I tried searching for the answers, but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for (perhaps I was using the incorrect terminology). My bass came with the usual Fender T-Handle wrench and I was able...

    (Bridge) Pilot hole screw-up

    I was installing a new bridge on my Tune TWB6 today, and since the mounting holes did not coincide with the previous ones, I had to drill new mounting holes. The mounting stcrews were 4mm, and going from memory, I thoguht that a pilot hole of 3mm should be about right. So off I went drilled the...

    Best method for securing speaker to baffle?

    I recently built a 1x12 open backed cabinet, and I’m looking for the best way to screw the speaker to the baffle. Currently I have it held on by four screws from my random screws bin that seemed to be the sturdiest, but it’s not an ideal long term solution. I was thinking of using threaded...

    Weird thing on what I'm guessing is a Wilkinson 3D bridge?

    Hey everyone, so I'm looking after a friend's 5 string bass which has a Wilkinson bridge on it. I couldn't see any sort of model number on it, but from some image searching I'm guessing it's some form of 3D bridge. I'm trying to adjust the action, but I'm having trouble with one of the screws...

    Jazz Pickup Screws are Hot (making noise)?

    Good morning TalkBass. Recently swapped out my Jazz Bass pickups. When adjusting the height of the neck pickup I noticed a tapping sound coming through my amp when I touched the screw driver to the screws. The bridge pickup does not have this issue. Is this normal? If not, I assume the...

    What screwdriver for J bass pickup screws?

    I hope this isn't in the wrong forum, but I figured y'all would have the most experience with this. My experience with J and P bass pickup screws is, shall we say, less than joyous. A #0 Phillips screwdriver is definitely too small, and a #2 just floats above the recess without engaging. But...

    Please Help. I can't find the right pickup screws for my bass.

    I have a Yamaha TRBX174 which is an inexpensive, passive PJ bass. Apparently the pickup screws are an unusual metric size wood screw, and they do not have replacements at the music shop or at the hardware store. I called Yamaha and they said the measurements of the screws are 2.6mm x 35mm. They...

    Neck plate screws

    Hi! I am currently assembling a jazz bass and bought an Allparts nickel neck plate. It didn't come with any screws so I ordered some at random on eBay. They seem pretty small compared to the ones I have on my budget bass. Does someone have the measurements for neck screws that Fender (or other...

    Short string height screws for Fender JB - where to buy?
