Okay. Putting together a 4 string warmoth bass. And now I've got some questions about tuners. The neck I have has 11/16" holes for tuners. But now I'm wondering about what my tuner options are? I'd love to go with a hipshot D-tuner, and make the set matched. But what I'm really wondering about is the ultra-light tuners. I'd like to keep the weight down and balance the bass out. I have very little knowledge about open back style tuners. I know the GB7 Gotoh style won't work. Warmoth has Schaller open backs for $50, which would probably work great...but I'd like to see what my options are. If need be, I can disassemble the hipshot on my carvin and design a similar system for my tuners. I can get stuff fabbed up fast and cheap. Plus I have plenty of good design software. But I'd like to purchase it, and have it done right fast
What my requirements are:
Drop tuning easily, so a hipshot style tuner.
Black hardware color.
As light a weight as possible. I'll probably add a fat finger to tune the bass overall.
Fender style 11/16" hole.
As stylish as possible. I like the BT-4S style of tuner heads. The fender deluxe style. Looks less flimsy.
Any help is way appriciated. Thanks.
