Update - the screws from my Amazon link above arrived and are a perfect match as far as I can tell - virtually indistinguishable from the ones on my 4003s. I know I've said it a few times but thanks again for the specs, this was just what I needed!

I actually was able to find the screws on the Ace Hardware site, and they appear to be the same (Hillman brand) as these that I found on Amazon.

I ordered a set. Leaving this link here in case anyone else is looking ...

The screw size is #6, and Ace had them:

The RIC part is on the left, the Ace one is on the right.

I bought some while at Ace (I remembered that I might need some for the pick guard on my 365 FG that is almost back to "normal"), so if you don't have an ...

Wow, thank you! That's really helpful.

The ones on my 4003s are rounded, and I am pretty sure the ones on other 4003 that I have had were
rounded too. The flat-topped screws on the 4003 look weird to me....

Hi folks,

I recently picked up a 2016 4003. I love it! However, I think whoever had it before me must have put a hipshot on there, but took it off and put the stock bridge back on before selling. I think they used the hipshot screws to put it back on the body though, because four out of the five ...

I found one online that looks like mine:

So I guess it's not unique.

I just worry that if I send it back for an exchange I'll get one that has the same deal but that doesn't play as nice. I think I'll hang onto it.

I'll try to get a picture up later so folks can see what I mean.

I'm not at home so can't take a picture, but I have a question about the bridge on my newly purchased (2019 model) 350v63. The strings align with the neck properly and it plays and sounds great so this is probably just cosmetic, but looking at the saddles the low E string notch is really far to the ...

Thank you both, I will definitely give that a try.

Hello all,

I just recently got a Ric 330 walnut, 2014 model. It plays and sounds fantastic but I have a small problem. With my string gauge of choice (.010 D'addario XLs), the neck has a tiny bit of back bow with the truss rods loosened almost completely slack. (Any looser and the nuts start to ...

So for closure for anyone following this saga, I took the bass to my local GC (I had ordered it used online from GC.com) and the guy there took one look at it and said "they never should have sold this to you" and took it back with full refund.

Thanks everyone. My search continues I suppose ...

The nut seems fine...
