PenrynJim Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Hi guys, I recently got a beautiful 2nd hand Hohner B2A, which I've been very happy with. I was due to set it up and on inspection, noticed two tiny bolts missing! They're the bolts that allow you to set the friction on the de-tuning lever and the de-tuning knob. I've found photos of them in this pdf document from the Steinberger site: [url="http://www.steinberger.com/images/DB.pdf"]http://www.steinberger.com/images/DB.pdf[/url] The bolts in question are photographed being adjusted in photos DB3 and DB4. Can anyone help me identify their exact size and type so I can hunt some replacements down, or even better does anyone know where I could get some from? Thanks in advance guys! Jim.

The Burpster Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 My guess is that it will be an M3 grub screw and you can get thenm from here quite cheap!

PenrynJim Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Thanks guys, that's very helpful! Hopefully Hohner will be able to either send me some, or confirm if they're both M3's that I need and what length they are. Do any of you on here have a Steinberger/Hohner? I absolutely love mine, but sometimes get frustrated with the way it's balanced - like the low end of the fretboard feels miles away unless I tilt it almost like an upright bass! Anybody tried modding theirs with a homemade strap extension? I'm thinking of trying it out, as I can't find anywhere to get an original one.

indiegrungesound Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I've a Steinberger Spirit bass. (It's made of wood not graphite & has EMG Select pickups.) It's a great bass. Lovely tone & action on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
