Hey guys, I know, I've been away for a long time. (no band, no cash, no bass forums) But I recently picked my Bachbird back up and am extremely annoyed with the screws my luthier used on my stuffed 70's chrome pickup covers. Where can I get good screws that were meant for those 70's pickups?

Thanks in advance.

Not that easy to find to find, don't blame him. These are a little better.  Smaller, countersunk with oval head.  I'm using them on my JAEbirds, they are the closest I've found to the originals at a reasonable price.

Y'know...Truth of the matter is...that the 70's 3 hole pickups used machine screws which screwed into a brass or zinc fixture which was held in place by the pickup surround. But Carlo has some great advice that he mentioned above. My 2 cents worth.
