Tuners question.

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm kicking around the idea of doing a re-creation of this bass.


First, I don't want to use Hipshots or Schallers. They are far too pricey, and I'm trying to keep this project under a certain price point.

Looking around, I have the following ideas.
These

Gotoh:

They have regular tuner and a "straight" tuner. What does that mean?
See website below.
Bass Parts Resource: Gotoh Bass Tuners

Grover:

Or Wilkinson:

They also have these which are interesting.

Any opinions, good, bad, or ugly are very much appreciated.

The Gotoh's look like they would fit the bill if the hole size works out. GB7's seem to be the standard size, have seen the TK's listed as mini. Classic project - I like!

My question is, the Gotoh's, Grover's,a nd regular Wilkinsons look so similar. Any differences?
