Tuner Headstock Hole Size MIM 2010 PBass

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi-

Can anyone tell me what size tuner hole I need to order for for a 2010 MIM Fender P-Bass? I want to put black tuners on it but don't want to order the wrong size (I did that on a franken bass before - wasn't pretty...)

Thanks, all!

Take one string off, remove the tuner, measure the hole.

Thanks, Michaeln... I may have never thought of that.

I was hoping someone would know, so I could avoid that.

Since they're in the same price range I think I'd rather get the ultralites.

Do the Ultralites fit? Don't they leave the existing screw holes exposed?

I used that vendor several times, and I've used a set of these tuners. The vendor is good, and you will love the tuners.
