Question Which HipShot "Xtender" Tuner?

Sign in to disble this ad
I have a 1976 Gibson Grabber G-3 bass, which with all the hipshot bass tuners, ( http://store.hipshotproducts.com/car...oduct_list&c=6 ), there seems to be no Gibson option. Which one would retro fit my bass? I really can't drill new holes in her.

I found a ruler, and sure enough, 11/16 across the bottom, and 15/16 across the top, which matches grover titans.

I don't see "Hipshot EB-4 Drop D-Tuner for Bass guitar. Chrome finish. Allows instant detuning with the flip of a lever. Adjustable from Eb to C. Suitable for use with Grover Titan machines and some GibsonŽ bass models." anywhere there.

http://store.hipshotproducts.com/car...ct_detail&p=54 Maybe that will fit though?
