    Need Help Identifying Warwick Tuning Pegs

    Does anyone know what type of tuners are being used for this? It's a Rockbass 8 and I haven't been to find anything on these parts wise. I've contacted Warwick and received no answer yet. One of them needs to be replaced, as it does not turn at a certain point when trying to tune up.
