Recommend me some affordable tuners

Building a scraps bass, tuners are the only thing missing. Looking for something reasonably priced, preferably nothing in a clover or a lollipop.

It's gonna be a Jazz bass, btw.

They're cheap Gotoh-style tuners from China, but I've dealt with that store before and they ship quickly and the parts are decent. I outfitted every bit of hardware plus strings on a scrap wood bass for about $50 shipped from them. Their soapbar pickups aren't terrible, either, especially for around $10.


Also, don't buy the strings.

I've got some big clover vintage-style ones from that store on one scrap bass and those going on another and either way, they're solid sets. Took me about a week to get them.
