How would you rank these brands of tuners?
Wilkinson, Gotoh, Grover, Hipshot, Schaller, and Sperzel.
1=Favorite, 6= Least Favorite.

1) Hipshot
2) Wait until whatever prevented me from buying the Hipshots cleared up

Have to agree. The Hipshot bridges and tuners are second to none.

I forgot to mention, a big part of my appreciation of Hipshot gear is their customer service, which is among the best I've ever encountered.

Gotoh Res-O-Lite 350

I can't complain about the Grover tuners I have except that they weigh more than hipshots.

In some basses this may not be too big a deal, and they are definitely top of the line gear. Don't move at all if I leave my bass sit, can't say the same about my buddies' mystery tuners.

Most of my basses have either Hipshot or Schaller tuners and I haven't had any problems with any of them.

As long as they work well, look good and are reliable, I don't really care which brand they are. I am sure each of those tuners you have listed can get the job done.

I use the Wilkenson bridges and really like them. Never used a hipshot, seem very overpriced.
