I have an OLP 5 string. 4 + 1 configuration. What would be some good tuners to put on this bad boy. One of them died on me. I think want chrome. Where is a good place to pick them up. I am having trouble finding sets of 5.

Hipshots are pretty much the standard.

Hipshots are awesome and Hipshot as a company is awesome. Gotoh and Schaller are also good choices. Pretty much any dealer of Hipshot will have sets of 5, and Gotoh sets of 5 can be ordered straight off their website.

+1 for Hipshots, especially their Ultralite tuners.

Many places sell the "backwards" 5th seperately. You can buy the set plus one. It is also common for them all to sold seperately. That way, you don't have to worry whether the bass is five in line, or 4+1, 3+2 or whatever.
