    Fender American Pro II Precision Bass Tuning Machine Replacements

    This afternoon, I was just starting to change my strings on my Fender American Pro II Precision Bass when the weirdest thing happened. I took the first string from the old set off the bass and I noticed that the tuning machine was loose. So I got a screwdriver to tighten it. When I started...

    Replacement machine heads

    Can anyone help, I have a Fender Modern Player Jazz Bass and want to replace the machine heads. I'd prefer a set that would fit without needing to drill new holes. I've had a look at the Grover 142C4 and the Schaller 503 110, I've also had a look at the Gotoh FB30 4L aged. Some advice would be...

    Gotoh V. Hipshot Hardware

    Hi Fellow Bassist. This is an “OPINIONATED” post that seeks the “opinions” of other fellow bassist. I have been assessing hipshot hardware over gotoh hardware. I find that in my opinion “Gotoh” is of better quality and of more variety than hipshot. It appears that people like hipshot because...

    Graph Tech Ratio Machine Heads + drop tuning

    Does anyone here have experience with these? I'm about to replace my machine heads and what I like about the graph techs is the idea of fairly quickly doing a drop tune, like Drop D or a half-step down tune. Just learning bass, but I already came across songs that use both tunings. In theory...

    Hipshot hb3 question

    I received a set of four hipshot hb 3 tuners yesterday, the pre cbs style ones. 3 turn with a decent amount of resistance while 1 is a lot easier to turn, it feels like it has half the resistance of the others. I don't have the neck that I will install them on yet to test them properly. Does...

    Machine heads that stay in tune the best?

    I’m looking to build my own bass using parts from Warmoth. There are a lot of different options out there for tuners, so I’m not sure which I should get. I don’t care too much about weight. Neck dive doesn’t bother me, as I don’t really let my hands go very far from the neck when I play, and I...

    Ibanez SR50X tuner weight

    My SR506 has some neck dive so I'm considering replacing the tuning machines with some Hipshot Ultralite. Any idea whether the stock Ibanez tuners are significantly heavier than the Ultralights? By "significantly" I mean shaving at least 1/2 a pound off the weight.
