Tuners other than hipshot or grover?

I was wondering if there are any fine tuning machines, that aren't common? anyone? i think hipshots only look good on fender and fender-like headstocks and pretty much every other bass is grovered to death.

Hipshots make other styles that aren't the typical Fender "clover" style, ya know.

Define "exotic". You can get fully custom wooden tuners from thgknobs.com (as well as other makers) if that's your thing. Be prepared to pay, however.
