Sperzel. And yes, Sperzel makes bass tuners. Here's some info:

The only other option is to have them powder-coated, and that will not be cheap.

You can get all aluminum tuners anodized (sperzel anodizes theirs for example). Powdercoating is also an option but i generally dont recommend it for certain things, tuners would be one of those things.

I had a Carvin bass with Sperzel tuners on it. Not sure if they were factory or not, but they certainly worked just fine.

+1 on anodized aluminum ones.

That's true, you could buy some Hipshot Ultralites, and go through the anodizing process.

But that's a pretty expensive option, TBH.

There are a lot of ano places and for parts that small it isnt that pricey. Youll probably have tyo go through a paintball parts anodizer. If you need help lmk.

ebay had some jazz bass kits with colored hardware. id have to double check for the seller that had them, but im pretty sure you could just by tuning machines. IIRC, purple was an option.
