Hey thanks all for the help I managed to fix it without needing to get the whole machine replaced although finding the insanely specific screw on amazon was funny af there's just so many different screws lmao

Yes it's that screw, is there a page for spare screws? Not tryna be sarcastic I guinenely have no idea lmao

Ah I see well the screw has been missing for a few months now so probably foooked

Hey this is my first time on here so I don't really know what I'm doing. Essentially for a while now the screw on the end of my machine head, keeping the twisty thing in place, has gone missing. But it was all okay because I could put it back on to tune it up and then put it in pocket. I've recently restrung my bass and when tightening the D string it got increasingly tighter and tighter even though the pitch was all the way down at B1 or something and it got so tight that I couldn't keep turning it. That's when I looked at the back and saw the central colum of the machine head had extended past the rest of the machine head. Was barely able to loosen the string to the point where the machine head had no tension and could move the central colum back but it would just extend whenever tightened again so I don't know what to do. Also, I know the rubbery bearing thing isnt on there in vid but it was only way to fit the twisty thing back on to it in order to get the leverage to loosen it. Any help would be appreciated greatly, many thanks for dealing w received_823395369071878.mp4
