Squier Jaguar Short Scale club.

You did indeed miss it.

Are you sure? I could have sworn I had read that they were 9/16".

11/16"? What are our - low cost - options with that size?

 

[silentmike]

I'm just going with what Screaminglucy said. I've got no immediate plans to upgrade the tuners on mine so I don't really know any of the key specs personally.

Here is a youtube vid on a shortie jag

I put on 1/2" post ultralites. The original tuners were fine...i had the ultralites already

When you did the swap, did you actually measure the hole?

Were 1/2" posts Good Enough, yet the hole was actually 11/16"?

Do you need a pic to get a number? Cause mine is now in NY patiently waiting for my return at the end of August.

I'm going to a 'band camp' with Levin, Adrian Belew, and Pat Mastelotto. I think I'm gonna have to take my cirrus too though. ;-)

 

[SBassman]

Where is the band camp?

Ok folks, after a false start, here's my take on a winning bag:

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I have the bag in hand now. Excellent fit. Recommended.

Around the Catskills, can't remember the name.

I haven't been as militant about that as some threads. I'll give you a number (#28), just please post a pic ASAP.


Thanks.

I have a Gator Rack Case for my GK Fusion 550 and they make quality products so I'm sure it is a very nice case. However, I specifically bought the SS for travel and I needed the shortest contoured Guitar shaped gig bag I coulld possibly find so I could bring it on the plane without having to check it ($23 to check on United) not to mention probably certain damage. I already checked and the measurements on my bag will fly (no pun intended) but the Gator being 4 ft. long and 19" wide I'd have to check.

May I have a number? I posted a couple pics on pg. 20 or thereabouts.

Yes I measured it at 11/16"

They fit great

Did you use the existing bushings or install the new 1/2" tuner bushings? WW

Well, is it just me, or is the bass in the picture a regular scale jag?

I think the short-scale bass is in the bag already silentmike. See the headstock? WW

Yup. My bad. Beer tends to do this to me!

Hipshot Ultralites dont use bushings. I removed the stock bushings.

So, if there are no gotoh bushings and your putting an 8/16" tuner into a 11/16" hole, how is the tuner
prevented from canting towards the bridge, while under string tension?

Could you post a close-up photo of your headstock and tuners for me to see? WW

Like this D string tuner:

I just put my HS ultralites in and they are too small. Close but not quite. The HS use a sleeve thats attached to the bolt (that you see on the headstock.) I wrapped a few layers of black electrical tape around the post and now they fit snug as a bug.

Not perfect, but seems to work okay. Not sure if will hold up well long term though.
