Super glue works just fine. I had that happen to me with the Hipshot Licensed tuners in my Cirrus. Just a tiny amount does the trick.

Hey guess what else works: ye olde rubbere bande.
But maybe I should angle for a new set from mr man at G&L.
I had the same thing happen on a CLF Research L2K I'd bought and ended up returning to do a build to order. I think it was the D string tuner, so if I hadn't returned it I would have had to get a new tuner, too. I haven't had the issue yet with the bass I ordered, maybe I've been lucky so far. It seems to be a common thing with those Ultra-Lite tuners, though. I've heard of a lot of people having that issue.
NBD today 
I wanted to wait a bit longer since I got my shell pink LB-100 two months ago, but after G&L discontinued block inlays from their option order selections and this one popped up on reverb for a very reasonable price (this bass was what I was planning for my next build), I had no choice really
Still testing it out, but so far I can tell it's the usual solid build quality I've come to expect from G&L. One other thing: it's heavy. I've never weighed any of my basses, but the first thing I noticed when I picked it up was that it was probably heavier than all my other basses

Nice bass !! Himalayan Blue? Similar to mine, but mine has empress wood body and is 7.2lbs, the lightest bass I ever owned. It sounds good and balances well also, no neck dive at all
Hello.
I am interested in purchasing a Aguilar Tone Hammer pedal/DI. Unfortunately, I won't get to try it before I buy it.
I am wondering if someone with a MFD equipped bass has used one. I am specifically wondering if the high output of the bass overloads this DI, when the volume knob of the bass is turned all the way up. Also, if anyone has any comments on the marriage between these two, I'm all ears.
I would be putting an L2000, M2000 and SB2 through it.
Thanks!

Thought I would share a poster of the 80's I found after seeing someone asking about if anyone had any.
Wow, I contacted Memo about this issue on my Kiloton. His response was basically "buy a new tuner from our website". Maybe because I mentioned I wasn't the original owner?
I wasn't the original owner on mine, either. Did I mention that in speaking to Memo? It's been a few years ago, so I can't remember much except it was a phone conversation. I didn't withhold the information intentionally, but my memory has forgotten most of what was said. Heck, my memory has forgotten what I had for breakfast. With the cost of materials skyrocketing, maybe their days of giving stuff away for free are over. I know that, like every other company in the world, they raised their prices significantly at the beginning of the year, but I'd almost bet their profit margin has shrunk.
The good news for you is that you can buy these on the store at glguitars.com for only 18 bucks each. No need to buy a whole set. So while it's not a free option anymore, it's an $18.00 option, which ain't bad. And they'll fit perfectly on the bass--no plugging screw holes and drilling new ones. Also, the super glue repair is still a viable solution. Maybe buy a replacement and repair the old one as a spare just in case.
Well, there are good quiets and bad quiets. Hope this is a good one.
I think G&L wanted things to quiet down, hence the massive price increase and decrease in options.
It would be interesting to see from dealers if it worked. I suspect it did.

Feels quiet all over TB now, not just here. I subscribe to many threads and all have been in the "shhh....be vewy quiet...we're hunting wabbits" mode.
I could keep gushing about my Kiloton purchase but I suspect y'all have had your fill of that for now...
Happy weekend! Hope it is filled with gigs, practice or just enjoying your gear!
