Extra String Tree On A Tuner

[Larbacca]

Hi,
I was poking around on stratosphere and noticed a picture of a small second string tree attached to the A string tuner. This was on a US Dimension bass neck. Any idea where to get one or what they're called? I tried to save the picture but the site wouldn't let me.

You can see it on their Facebook update for today too.

Sounds like you're talking about the Fender stealth (used to be called Strong-Arm) retainer. You can get them Invalid Link Removed, along with a number of other places online.

I didn't realise they were available to buy separately. Awesome and thanks for the link!

Always happy to help!

I didn't realize they were available separately either. We've been wanting this for a long time. I wonder if it would work on G&L.

Looks like it will only work on machine heads with a retaining nut on the string post barrel. The screw on type machine heads with a press in bushing from the front of the headstock would not work with the new part.

Wow, thanks for the info. I lost this thread, but it looks like it moved.

Glad to see it made available by itself. I have this retainer on my 60th Ann P and love it.

I get the message "We are sorry, our store is available only to U.S. customers.", can anyone post a picture of it please.

Edit - Found it.

Why not use a bar retainer?

Why not use a bar retainer?

That's fine for a bass you're building yourself or one that you don't care to modify permanently, but this is a reversible, non-permanent solution. Bar retainers aren't very traditional looking and some people don't like that. The A is the only problem on Inline headstocks like this and that solves the problem.
