So what we have here is a case of justifiable Rage Against The Machines.I had to return a purple sparkle 5 string with black hardware. All of the tuners were stuck and ended up stripping out when I tried to tune it. I'd be very suspect of any of these basses with the black hardware that were returned.
There are probably at least 14 threads about how bad the tuning machines are on those.14 out of how many sold?
