Rainbass Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Hi I've managed to lose one of the tiny screws that hold the battery covery on to my Fender Deluxe Jazz, and I can't seem to find a replacement anywhere - any suggestions? Also, has anyone put a screw-less battery box in a Deluxe Jazz? Is there one that fits without having to change the shape of the compartment at all? thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuitarPartsResource do a range of them, some screw-less. If you have a control cavity cover on the back you could have an alternative one made rather than cut up the original.

[/quote] Yes. Google for a local fixings/fastenings supplier. Take another screw out of your bass. Take it with you, show it to them and ask for four just like it.. They'll probably come back with, " what colour would sir like, and will he be wanting Phillips, pozi, slotted, Allen or Torx-headed!" Seriously, though, a good shop like that is indispensable. So far, my local one has supplied everything from bolts to wall mount my tv to imperial Allen keys for my MIA Jazz.

Pete1967 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Can't really see the pic on my iPhone but try Allparts part number GS-3397-003... Edited January 31, 2013 by Pete1967 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbass Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Thanks for the advice. I did take the screw to the only local shop I have like that, which is a Maplin, and they didn't have anything like it, sadly. Just have to keep looking . . .

Rainbass Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 The screw on the battery cover is very short and actually a bolt I think as it has a flat end rather than a pointed one like a screw. If only I had my old meccano set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
