While playing my vester fretless bass , one of the tuning pegs fell out .   
I pushed it back in , but notice that it has a black screw that has gone missing. 
 

Any idea where to get the right sized replacement ??

 

Or am I screwed , and have to purchase a replacement gotoh tuning peg? 😬IMG_5951.thumb.jpeg.8689bbfb1c23dddf400be94174dbcbbc.jpegIMG_5952.thumb.jpeg.705f7e8adba1dfa6011c649fe271ccc2.jpeg

Take another one out, and measure it, then get a replacement?  It's just a case of getting the correct screw.  Perhaps a local, friendly fastener supplier could help?

 

Contact Gotoh?

Oh and another thing, you won't find those Gotoh GB7s (if indeed they're even called GB7s) anywhere but the second hand market, especially those ones with the plastic, fluted bit below the button.

 

The modern day GB707 has a different shaped button.

I found a website via ai/ Google ( yes I know ) called Glued to music . 
I registered with them , and assumed I could pay via PayPal , but for some reason PayPal was unavailable at this time . Apple Pay was the other option but I decided not to proceed ! Site may not be legit as I haven’t received confirmation email . 
 

I’d rather not get soaked in this weather and it’s a bus ride to the nearest hardware shop . There is Amazon but they have too many options ..

I have these tuners on one of my basses also:

They're good tuners, well worth replacing that screw if you ask me.  Let me have a rummage in my spares boxes and see what I can find.

OK, well for my own curiosity if nothing else, I'll still see if I've got a suitable replaceable screw anyway and if I find one, I'm happy to send you it.
