Members seraphim7s Posted March 15, 2006 Members Share Posted March 15, 2006 1. The bridge of the P bass in my sig apparently requires an alan key with a diameter of 1/20" to adjust it. I have been to the three main hardware stores in my city without luck (the smallest was 1/16") I went to the two main music shops and they told me to try the hardware stores!!! I cannot believe for one second that it should be so difficult to get the tools to do a basic setup on one of the most popular instruments of all times. Where do I get one of these mystical bloody alan keys?! I am at my wit's end. 2. For my own curiosity, could someone please explain the 'base' system you Americans have re: encounters with the opposite sex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KeroseneTrewthe Posted March 15, 2006 Members Share Posted March 15, 2006 What the heck kind of hardware stores do ya have there in England?? Its just a small allen wrench. You'll probably have more luck finding it in a set of allen wrenches than to buy one on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bluescout Posted March 15, 2006 Members Share Posted March 15, 2006 It's probably metric. Find a 1.2MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassman1956 Posted March 15, 2006 Members Share Posted March 15, 2006 Originally posted by Fran da Man What the hell's one twentyth of an inch? 0.050". 0.050" does not equal 1.2mm, unless you want to strip the screwhead inside. Common size for tiny allen wrenches. All of them below 1/16" are in thousandths. As in 0.025", 0.030", 0.040", 0.050". BUT, you'll need to go to a good tool store, or hobby store, as in RC cars, or machinist's tool supply, to find it. And then, probably in a set.

Members bassman1956 Posted March 15, 2006 Members Share Posted March 15, 2006 Tower Hobbies Try hobby shops that deal with model railroad, model steam engines, or RC models. Also, machinist's supply houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Leo Plumtree Posted March 15, 2006 Members Share Posted March 15, 2006 Originally posted by Fran da Man What the hell's one twentyth of an inch? I have a scale that has 1/20" (.05") divisions. They're not unheard of, considerin' the decimal inch is so common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
