Hello everybody.

A while ago I did something stupid to the 5 bolts of my MIA Dlx Jazz. I tighted them til they became loosy...well, they still hold the neck in place, but I dont think in an optimal way.

So, could anyone provide me with measurements of the bolts used in the 5-bolt joints of MIA Dlx basses? So I could buy the most similar bolts I can find here. It would help me a lot if the information is in the METRIC system, since im brazilian.

Thanks in advance.

Yea, I feel for ya.
I did the same thing On one of my tuner plates on my Geddy Lee.
It was loose and while tightning it I stripped the hole in the headstock...:-(
Best thing to do is take the screw with you to Home Depot or whatever store you like and get a screw bigger than the original but smaller than the hole in the plate.
Tighten it very slowly and do not over do it.
Using a screw driver use your thumb and your middle finger to finger tighten.Don't torque it!
To much and you'll strip that too. Then you have an issue....

Good Luck.

test,
