Be careful with assuming the stock button screws are big enough. In my opinion many instruments leave the factory with wholly inadequate screw sizes, both for thickness and length. Anything less than about 5mm outer diameter and which goes into the wood at least an inch is too small.

@ICBM, the screw is nowhere near 5 mm diameter, , but it is fairly long - at least 25 mm into the wood. I will monitor it for the time being. It is fairly easy to enlarge the hole in the bass string retainer and replace the screw with a heavier one. I will look out for chrome finished screws 35 mm plus long.....

On heavier instruments I often put a drop of woodglue or locktite in the hole. Never had one pull out.
