natedogg319 Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 i have an ibanez btb406qm bass, which is probably irrelevant to my question. anyways, one of my strap hook.. pin.. things that your strap goes on, is loose. i cant screw it in anymore because the hole is stripped out and it will basically fall out. im not sure what to do, and im scared of doing a bad rig job or something because its a really nice bass. it seems to me a lot of ibanez guitars do this also, which is weird, anywho, thank you all for any help.

Southpa Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Unscrew the strap button, drop some superglue into the hole, jam in a couple toothpicks and break off flush, screw the strap button back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acousticraft Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Even easier just get a longer screw about the same gauge and it will have some fresh wood to bite into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 i would go with the tooth pick and glue fix - but beware with the glue - you dont need much. I have seen quiote a few guitars with superglue runs around the strap button area because someone has gone a bit too far. I think it is fine with wood glue - and easier to clean up if it doesn go anywhere it shouldnt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
