left/right hand machine heads

[thepurplepea]

Hey,

I'm changing the hardware on my streamer lx5 and the warwick shop has the replacement machine heads available. Question is, do I need right ar left hand machine heads. Its a right handed bass but it leave me a little confused.

Machine heads on the left of me, but on a right hand bass would require.....(fill as appropriate).

Also, does anyone have any tips on replacing the bridge? I cant figure out the tool required and if its a simple set of screws that hold it in.

Cheers for now.

Change the tuners, keep the bridge.

The LH / RH denotes whether the tuner will be mounted on the treble or bass side of the headstock (Warwick uses a 3+2 config. IIRC). The wording is confusing. I would upgrade to Hipshot Ultralites if you can afford the extra dough. They're a better product all the way around plus you can convert them from LH to RH, etc., with a PH screwdriver and hex key.

Not sure about the bridge. I always liked 'em myself.
