I have Schaller on everything. I use a dab of locktite around the washers when I put them on the straps and have used a drop of Elmer's in the hole when replacing the screw. I used to have the problem with not being able to use the original screws, but lately one has been modified because I have used the original screws as of late.
I would love to go to the Ernie Ball design, but all of my straps currently would have to be changed over and I am too lazy to do that right now.
Hmmm, I put schaller's on my Sterling; more for piece of mind than anything else. I had no problem using the stock EB screws and even used the plastic washer that came with the stock EB pins. So far no worries. When I fund my next EBMM bass, I will propbaly give the EB loks a go.
Hey Guys...What forum is this? This is a great topic for harmony central or talk bass or.....this was an old thread that has been brought back from the dead and we are in the Superlock business so thats what we talk about
