georgestrings Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I'm new to the forum - just registered after getting my 1st Gibson bass in many years... I used to have an RD Artist, and sold it when I took a few years off from gigging - then I pretty much stuck to Fenders and EBMMs for basses when I returned, until recently... I just got this a couple of weeks ago: I'm looking for a replacement for one of the bridge mounting bolts - the one closest to the pickup, with the smaller head... I called Gibson 1st, and struck out there - so, I figured I'd try here... The one currently on there is functional, but is a bit messed up - by the previous owner - and since the rest of the bass is in excellent condition, I'd line to clean up that little detail... Any help would be appreciated, - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd_artist Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Did somebody say Rd Artist? you may need to purchase an entire bridge to get the one screw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgestrings Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 Did somebody say Rd Artist? you may need to purchase an entire bridge to get the one screw. Although I really want to keep it "all Gibson", I don't see myself making that purchase - at that point, I think it would be wiser to upgrade to the Hipshot bridges made for these basses... I have to say, I was really surprised that Gibson wouldn't help me out with one measly bolt for their flagship bass - it really doesn't say much for their customer service... - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramone57 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 maybe you could have a Gibson authorized repair shop order one for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
