SE vs HFS/Bass pups

[auriemma]

I was going to swap out a set of SE pups for a HFS/Bass set. But before I pull things apart...
Will the height adjusting screws from the SE fit the HFS/Bass set or will I need new hardware?

I have had the same height adjusting screws across many pickups in my SE Santana. I'm pretty sure they're a standard size, 4-40?

Cool... I was hoping the threads were the same and not inch (4-40) for the USA pups and metric (3mm?) for the SE series.

if you get new piuck ups they do come with new screws too. I installed the HFS/Vintage set on my boys SE singlecut along with the USA drop in 3 way with push/pull tone knob. the new pups had screws and springs. I used the USA screws but the SE springs as the USA springs were crazy long and practically impossible to get the screw started as they were also alot stiffer.

The HFS/Bass set is not new, no screws. Just wanted to be sure the SE screws will work, before I open one of my SEs up.
