Can't find a supplier for the spring, but it's probably common to other Fender bass saddles...

Looks like this spring screw combo is the one...

Apparently this is proving a little more difficult than expected.....

Tried a few places now without success as they don't seem to be able to request the parts from Fender.  Poor little blue is still sat in the corner unable to join the party with its inadequate 3 strings.  The glittery silver Mustang is staying out of the way as it is scared it might be raided for one of it's screws.

Had an equipment malfunction the other night. A string suddenly went unresponsive....imagine my surprise when I saw that the intonation screw had gone awol. 

Anyone any idea where I can pick up a replacement?

 Cheers, Mart

 

Off the floor where you were playing? 😉

These fit if it's metric.

Bear in mind the spring is just to keep it in the right place when stringing up so anything that's roughly the right size will do (e.g. out of a biro).

Thanks Neil, I think the current ones are imperial but I might give these a shot. Pretty much resigned to having to get a set of 4 anyhow and likely the saddles to mate up.

first time in nearly 40 years that I’ve lost a bridge screw - it would have to happen on an ‘awkward’ bass.

Now sorted thankfully!

While I was waiting for Fender UK to get back to me I took a punt on a cheap £5 generic BBOT bridge off of that there ebay and bugger me the screws fit the existing saddles and were long enough to achieve intonation.  Who would've thunk it.

Thanks for all the comments

Hi guys,

 

I'm looking for some spare screws for my Mustang bass saddles. I must admit the different ways of measuring screws make my head spin, but basically I want some longer than standard to give me some wiggle room when downturning.

 

Assuming the 60's saddles are the same thread as newer USA models, I wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction??
