stripped

Chapter One: Shortly after receiving my brand new Rockbass I decided it would be a good idea to change out the strap lock buttons. I had both read about and seen the nightmares of failed stock strap locks and decided I wasn't going to be the next victim of an accidental push button malfunction...

I've been a proud player of a Warwick Corvette Standard 5-string for the last two years. I took my bass to Cleveland Music to have the action adjusted and the neck straightened and realized that the screws on my Just a Nut were completely stripped and came right out. Do I need a new Just a Nut...

...All the way down. I had been looking at my baby the past couple of days, and noticing some dark spots. Most would probably attribute it to the wood, but I, knowing what I know, know that this was the result of dirt, grease, and other types of build- up finding a home in the layers...

Hi, I own a Streamer Stage II that I purchased from a dealer in 2007. I really enjoy the bass but unfortunately I believe that the truss rod nut is stripped. Is there any way to fix this or work around this? Here are some pics so you can see what I'm talking about. Thank you for your help.

When I try to tighten the lock on the saddle of the d string, it will begin to become tight but then get really loose again. What I've done is just stop where it starts to get a little tight and then I left it. Will this affect anything on my bass. Will I end up having to send this back to...

I need some help!~ I have a Dolphin Pro I 2001, and yesterday the neck pickup 'popped out' on one side,..the screws pulled out of the wood underneath. I've never heard of anyone having this problem before? I took the pickup out and both metal brushings remained on the screws, so they had pulled...

I thought i was good enough to adjust the trussrod.... i couldve been able to, but i used one that just didnt work at the right angle. I stripped it A LOT and now it is almost impossible to adjust the truss rod. I feel like a moron, and i am one. How do i solve the problem? just buy a new...
