I'm curious to see how it looks with different woods and colour combinations. I'm especially curious to see if black tuners look horrible on a Fender Precision headstock. Got the stock chrome on my Highway One, but I'm starting to get ideas... |

Any recommendations for tuners? I know nothing about modding. I'm taking my first plunge. People keep mentioning Hipshots. Are those Hipshots? |

My two main basses both have all black hardware. A blond Thunderbird that I made, 
and a modded Epi 'bird with all black. 
In the words of Tom Tucker, once you go black, you go deaf.
