How did you know that quickly? I have been searching for hours! Do you have website where I can purchase that?

I don't think you'll be able to find one in that color. I need one too for my Force 4! I think I'll get a black one...

I'm not sure if that is the brand, I cannot find the satin chrome (brushed chrome) look anywhere.

Do you think they might have discontinued the color?

I don't really want to buy the chrome ones, they look cheaper.

Ahhh dang. But you guys are sure that Gotoh GB7 is the right tuner for this thing?

What about the Grover die cast bass tuners... I know that the new force basses have those tuners installed....?

The Gotoh/Grover *mini* tuners are almost generic. Just about everyone in the business makes a version. Most are interchangeable, common OEM.
