I bought a american deluxe jazz bass about four months ago,it is awesome it sounds great it looks great. One problem the straplocks keep coming loose, fender says they havn"t heard of this before, i know several people with that concern. the repair shop wants to drill a hole in my NEW bass ( i dont think so) anyone run into this before and if so what is a better repair.I have a ernie ball also and have never had any problems with it, and a 86 pbass also never had any concerns. thanks

A common repair for this problem is using the round toothpicks and Elmer's Wood Glue.
Cut about 1/2 in. off the end of the toothpick and throw that little piece away. Stick that side down into the hole, mark it and cut it. Repeat this until the tooth picks fit rather snuggly in the hole. Pull them out and put a drop of Elmer's Wood Glue in the hole. Push the toothpicks back in. Let it dry over night. Screw the straplocks back on.
