single string headless bass bridge

Anyone knows if those ABM single string tuners are reliable and easy to use?

I bought a cheap headless tuner bridge on ebay last summer, I wasn't sure if I was going to like a headless bass. The bass turned out fine, but the bridge is now out of order. Another thing, the cheap bridge was very hard to tune, I had to use pliers!

Are all headless bridge that hard to tune?

No, they're not all like that, you just had a bad trip ;)

ABM, is renowned as some of the best hardware to get AFAIK.
