I was hoping you could help me locate a part for my Rickenbacker bass?

I am desperately searching for bridge height adjustment screws for my early '70s Rickenbacker bass (part # 05301).

I tried ordering the replacement parts from Rickenbacker (via the Rickenbacker page), but the replacements they make now are to short (5/8"), not allowing the strings to clear the fretboard.

The ones I need for my bass are 1" in height.

The screws themselves only cost about 70 cents a pair, but seem very hard to find!

Would you happen to know of anyone on the planet I could purchase these through?

Thanks greatly for your time,
Ted

6/32" from a hardware store ...stainless steel or black oxide ....standard over the counter items .

However if you need one inch high screws ....I think there is something else wrong .That is a really high neck angle and on a bass with the lowest neck angle ever ...I find it hard to believe!

How are the truss rods? loose? Is the neck straight?
Are you playing slide bass?
