Too many jokes.... LOL. Well to fix the strap post, I think standard repair would be to remove the screw holding the strap pin and then either add a very small dowel with some titebond into the hole or just use a few toothpicks (this is what I've done in the past on other basses). Once they've dried, snap them off at the right length and then re-insert the screw- with some 'new' wood to bite into, you should be good. | ||

Toby's procedure is correct if the hole is enlarged or stripped. If the screw just periodically loosens or works its way out, you can add a drop or two of red Loctite 242 to the treads before inserting and tightening the screw and it will hold indefinitely. |
