Fender 60s style tuners

Flizzy21 · #1 05-10-2009, 08:47 PM

Dont ask, but I have an obsession with those long fender 60's tuning machines. The ones that stick out higher then the tuners do now. I wanna get a set of them to put on my jazz bass, but i cant seem to find any on any of my usual sites.

Does anyone know of any replacement tuning machines that look like that and are reliable? I've dealt with bad tuners before and its not fun lol

Allparts has 'em. Allparts has everything. :-)

The tuning machines you want are the Kluston, they have the reverse tuning feature, and they are the real deal ... they are the best tuning machine for a Fender bass IMHO ..... here's a link

This is useful info- I also love those looong shafted(you know they say that Shaft is a..

)machines. I'd love to replace the stockers on my 77 Ibanez P-clone.

Gotoh makes a high quality reproduction(even nickel plated) of the early reverse tuners. Be aware, the spacing on some basses(particularly squier basses) is tighter than older Fender basses and the Kluson style tuners may not fit them.

Anybody know what the size of Am Dlx Jbass tuner post? I want to change them with black ones. Right now it has a hipshot ultralite tuner chrome. Thanks in advanced!

Checked it, but they never reply me to confirm if they do shipping to country where I live.

Hipshot makes them too and they sell them individually on their website. www.hipshotproducts.com. Also, if you really want to pimp your bass out I've got an extra one of their Bass Xtender keys for sale in the 60's reverse tuning style keys.

Anybody know if these will fit a MIM jazz? Some say no, others seem to have had no problems, other than drilling new holes for mounting.

I'm having the same problem with that, i was planning to put it on squiers..
here's something helpful but I haven't actually tried it though..

Beefbass, they will fit, I have the '60s reverse tuners on my MIM Jazz

mim/hwy 1 use different bushings from fender 60s and 70s style tuners because the holes in the headstock are 18mm as opposed to 17.5mm on the other fenders. however, the inner diameter of all the bushings are the same at 14mm. if you leave the mim bushings in and just change the tuner it'll fit.

Adhus, they're 11/16" like most Fenders

nice.. Now I get it.. So how about on Squier Affinity Basses any ideas about the peghole sizes/bushings and what to use?
