Screws in or out?

[Wombat]

So, most of us take the pick up covers and or bridge covers off. Various reasons but please discuss!

My question however is….

Do you put the screws back in holes in the bass (so they don’t get lost and the holes don’t get filled with crap (technical term))?, or

Do you store them carefully with the removed items (and then find you’ve lost them when you go back to having the items on the bass)?

Answers on a postcard….

Personally, i take them out and use masking tape to affix them to the inside of the pickup cover, then put the covers back in the case/storage.
