LOL, I was kinda joking but my emoji sometimes doesn't appear.I suck at computer.Also I was talking about my sending my luthiers daughter through college.He actually made this comment jokingly to me due to our long relationship and the business I bring. It worked (emoji) this time! No it didn't.See what I mean?You forgot theemoji... not being a luthier, I do many things (myself) to make a bass playable and sounding good - but I also have a relationship with a journeyman luthier who makes my necks to my specs. He does that very well and I choose not to. Self sufficiency is not a bad thing and there's place for both in the world.
Good luck to your daughter.
- the world will always need good luthiers.
So I did read it correctly.Also I was talking about my sending my luthiers daughter through college.

Bit rich a Scotsman dishing out English lessons but here goes
"luthiers" means multiple luthiers. Adding an apostrophe represents ownership , "luthier's daughter" = daughter of luthier.

The apostrophe is the crux of the biscuit.

Well I'll be sure not to make that mistake again!Why don't my emoji work?Aye, me too.
Daft thing is I struggle writing in English, failed the O- Grade.
That rule for apostrophe is about the only thing I mind![]()
I think it's a no brainer if the Dano's in good shape.someone just offered to trade me a recent dano longhorn for my squier mustang bass - even-steven - I think I might do it and let it wear flats!

I've used Sperzel Trim-Lock bass tuners with guitar keys. I had them professionally installed as they aren't a drop-in replacement. They're probably less expensive than one might think.Two of the tuning machines have now failed on my new long-scale copperburst Dano 59 DC bass. (using D'Addario ECB81 chromes flats)
I plan to replace all of the tuning machines on my three Dano basses at this point.
I'd like to keep the look of the small knobs as much as possible. Recommendations?
Having Gotoh SD90's installed in all three of my Dano basses atmI've used Sperzel Trim-Lock bass tuners with guitar keys. I had them professionally installed as they aren't a drop-in replacement. They're probably less expensive than one might think.
Are they drop-in replacements?Having Gotoh SD90's installed in all three of my Dano basses atm
Look to be, they’re at my luthier atmAre they drop-in replacements?
Not if it can’t tune because they strip. Nothing like only being able to tune to a C# on your D string no matter what…I think I’ve come to accept cheap tuners as just part of the Dano experience .
