Yamaha replacement tuners?

TimBosby · #1 11-23-2008, 10:42 PM

Anybody have any or know where I could some? This is not my bass but I found this picture on here and noticed that these tuners look very much like mine. I'm assuming most Yamaha tuners follow this design (note the 3 screws instead of 4.)

I'm looking for something chrome or nickel.

Tried emailing Yamaha customer service but I'm not sure if their email form worked.

Those look the same as the tuners on my BB200F. I've no real problems with mine, other than they are loose, & CA on the shaft seems to help that enough.

Looks like the tuner's string post is rather wider than 'usual'; might be hard to find.

Yeah I am pretty sure the modern BB models have the same tuners..

Mine ain't modern. Gosh knows how old; 10+??

There is a Gotoh tuner that has a similar 3-screw pattern, but I'm not sure if they would fit directly, anyway you can find the exact dimensions in the Gotoh site...

Yamaha customer service called me 3 times today while I was at work. All 3 times they left messages telling me they had no idea.

Does anybody know how to e-mail Yamaha Japan customer service? I have had no luck with Google translating the Japanese site...
