Fender Tuner Swap

Hey All,, quick question.

If I were to buy a Fender American Standard P-Bass (2011, 2012, etc), what are my options for doing an easy tuner swap.

I am not a fan of the new style fender tuners, and would want to swap out for a more vintage style tuning machine.

NO THANK YOU...


YES PLEASE...


I am a really big fan of the vintage reverse tuners with the long shaft, but I feel like they would need routing on the back of the headstock?

PLEASE ADVISE

Routing? No routing! Just be sure that the tuner holes are the same size as the bushings for the reverse tuners. The new have a barrel bolt that threads on the gear mech from the front of the head. Only one screw is used to keep it from rotating.
The old type screw on the back and the bushing is a press fit from the front. That bushing needs to be a good fit with the hole.
