Lighter Tuning Machines?
Sign in to disble this ad
I've been thinking about upgrading my bass. It's an old Harmony Pbass, and I really love the tone. However, it has a huge head and heavy tuning machines, so there's lots of neck dive. The tuning machines currently on it are Schaller, which are 11/16" machines.

I was wondering if there's an "Ultra lite" version machine in this size. Anyone know?

Hipshot only has 1/2" and 3/8" on their site. Do they also sell 11/16"?

The 1/2" fit the 11/16" holes with the bushing I believe.

Email Hipshot. I do quite a bit, and usually end up with Jason, he's great. Everybody there is helpful.
