    Default Lost a Bridge screw on my kramer headless duke - need help

    I lost this screw on my bass and need to know the specs so i can replace it. Does anyone know these facts?

    I was taking pictures of it AFTER i sold it to send it to the buyer and noticed it. There's also a knob missing but the screw is my main problem right now.


    in a really tight spot, please help, it needs to be shipped saturday

    Loosen all the strings and remove another screw from the bridge and take it to a fastener hardware store. They can match it up. Another trick, you may want to do is break a tooth pick up into the screw hole to tighten things up. This extra fiber gives the screw some extra holding power.

    Wait, your title says Bridge screw and your last post says Pickup screw. If it is a pickup screw, don't bother loosening the strings as it will not effect anything removing another screw. I doubt anyone has the specs on those screws. They can be matched up at a local hardward store.

    Thw knob missing is available a guitar centers and other music stores. It is a vintage ghost knob I believe.

    That is the bridge I would loosen the strings before removing another screw.
    Hope and trust you can find the correct screw

    Looks like the baseplate screw to me?
    That has a bevel on it that may be hard to match?
    Look at the 3 screws holding the bride down. It's the top one.
    Right?
    Maybe another screw from another "hardtail" bridge guitar would work? Got one you can spare?
