Bass Pedal problem (not the usual)

[aspiring]

Hey all,

So i was playing A7X last night when all of a sudden my Bass pedal slid off the base. I was like wtf. So i look, and the actual pin that connects the pedal to the base, at the bottom of the pedal had snapped. Nothing wrong with the pedal just that tiny screw.

Now i obviously cant play so how on earth would i fix this. It doesnt appear to be a big problem but any ideas what size screw it is or anything?

Thanks.

Slid off the base? The pedal is held onto the base via a hinge pin. Did the pin work its way out? Just push it back in if so.

A picture of what happened would help.

Yes down the bottom of the pedal where it meets the base on the floor there is the hinge pin. it didnt slip out, it snapped. i have no idea how. My guess is it was sliding out and i stepped on the pedal and it snapped it. Any idea on size or anything so i can just buy one or anything like that?

Wow. I can't imagine how the pin would snap before the plastic! that's exceptional.

Just go to a hardware store and see if you can find some threaded or non-threaded round-stock that's about the right size and hammer it in. Honestly, just take it down to the hardware store and show them, they can probably hook you up. (like Ace or Truevalue).

If you get non-threaded, put a dab of superglue on it to keep it in there.
