So I’ve had a SR300 and an SR506ZW for 7 and 5 years respectively, and literally the ONLY thing I do not like about my Ibanez basses are the tuners. Not the function, as they work fine; but I just really don’t like the look of them. I am however, a huge fan of the more clover-ish looking tuners on the upper end model Ibanez basses. My thought process is this; why not get those tuners and love my basses 100% instead of 90%? Also, I’m sure they would be an upgrade in quality as well as aesthetics. Here’s the issue: I cannot find out where in the hell these tuners come from, what they are called, or if there’s even a Chinese knockoff of them. So, I reach out to you; my fellow four stringers. Does anyone know where you can get these tuners? Thank you, Jake

Yep, I'd probably spash the extra cash for the ultra-light GB350's, rather than buy a set of GB707's, but if he wants exactly the same tuners that are used on Ibanez Premium models, I am pretty sure they are 707's rather than the more expensive 350's.
