Need longer intonation screws for Bongos

[Rocco1138]

I have 2 Bongo 4 strings from 2007 - 2009.

Intonation screws are too short to properly intonate

I searched the forum and one of your members said these are difficult to find at hardware stores. That was my initial plan but decided to ask here first.

Thank you for your help!

Are you saying the saddles can't go far enough forward (towards the pickup) on two basses? That strikes me as unusual. What strings are you using?

That is correct.

The strings are TI flats and Elixirs.

The screws are definitely short. I compared them to 3 Stingrays I own and the screws are maybe a 1/4 inch shorter or more.

I hope someone can help me.

Thanks.

In that case contact Music Man customer service. Measure the length of the short screws, and contact Music Man customer service.
