    Sperzel locking tuners. Good idea or bad idea?

    If anyone wants to know. Schaller makes locking bass tuners. I was searching Google about sperzel and just they popped up.

    Sperzel locking tuners. Good idea or bad idea?

    Do you remember where you got them? I've had good luck with sperzel tuners and the quality of their construction. I've heard they have a high reject rate in house. This was due to using machine tooling from WWII. Their Facebook page says they stop production to upgrade their tooling and...

    Sperzel locking tuners. Good idea or bad idea?

    Hello, I'm new here but not new to playing bass or guitar. Got a question. I picked up a set of sperzel locking bass tuners off ebay a few months back. I'm building a 1989 epiphone power bass with a kahler(wanted a bass tremolo since the first time seeing primus). The sperzel tuners don't fit...
