Which Drop D Xtender do I need?

Sign in to disble this ad
I want to get a Drop D Xtender for my bass.

I've been shopping on the web and Hipshot seems to have about 30 different styles! None of which are described as the one I should use. I have Grover Tuners on my SX PJ.

All the Xtenders I've seen are described as suitable for Fender Vintage, Gotoh, Schaller, etc. I haven't seen one that explicity says USE FOR GROVER TUNERS.

Can someone tell me which one I'm supposed to get that will fit my bass and match my Grovers?

At $80 a pop, I don't want to get the wrong one and play the 'return and exchange' game.

TIA!

Can you post a picture of what the tuners look like?

what is the hole diameter in your headstock?

the 3/8" key requires a 9/16" hole
the 1/2" key (Fender style) requires an 11/16" hole

all the best,

R
