Hi there,
I bought a Music man Bongo 6, latest version (configuration: single coil + humbucker).
I noticed that the single coil is moving in its position and I feel a bit inconfortable when I place my thumb on it.
The humbucker is fixed in its position. What can I do to fix the single coil??
Thank You very much.

I thought they were machine screws
and brass inserts ? ? ?

If that be true, there's no taper to
the threads, so the screws be either
well engaged, or not engaged at all.

I think they are just wood screws (correct me if im wrong) they can be in there just a bit too litl. But normaly the screws are way too long for what you need so the height of that pickup should be extremely high for this problem to ocur.

Hey guys, thanks everyone for the advices... I just replaced the screw with a new one. Now the pickup is more fixed. What's Your single coil height in the B string side? I just set mine so that the upper level of the single coil screw support is on the same level of the the body (hoping this is clear).
