Where can I get Gotoh tuners that look like this?

Sign in to disble this ad
Yes it's a beautiful F-bass in the pics that I saw on Ebay - happens to have the shape of Gotoh tuner that I've been looking for, but I don't know what the shape is called or what to search for online. I like these much better than the standard "triangle" Gotoh / Wilkinson ones.

Ideally looking for a 4-in-line chrome set...... any leads appreciated!

Those are called the GB707 tuners, and I haven't been able to find them in the US. However, there are a handful of places in Europe that sell them.

Yeah I just figured that out. They're scarcer and more expensive than I would have expected for something seemingly simple.

Hmm. Dang. I don't think Gotoh anything is going to work in the neck I want them before. The neck has 11/16" (18 mm) pegheads. I'm thinking Grover Titans may work and I think those look cool.

I like Gotoh GB350 tuners a lot; not sure if they'd fit and they're on the pricey side though.
