Squier replacement tuners

[knuckle]

Have a 2014 Squier Affinity PJ Bass

The tuners suck.

I'm wondering if these are any good? Wondering as well if I'd have to drill. I mean I can do all that stuff, have endless tools, I'm just lazy.

They look like schaller copies. Schallers are not drop in replacements for what is on my squier. the spacing between the top and bottom sets of holes appear the same but, both the top and bottoms sets are further apart on the Squier tuners than on the schallers. The wilkinson elephant ear down below in your add looks like a drop in replacement though.

Well I took one off, it's an 11/16" hole. Any idea what would fit? I guess you're talking about the 4 screw holes correct? I'm going to have to fill and drill, right?

I have a set of schallers here you want some measurements?

 

[knuckle]

Sure, my stock top screws are 1" apart, the bottom screws are 3/4" apart. Top to bottom about 1 1/4" apart

I'd check the wilkinson tuners on your referenced site Item number is N19

Found them, thanks, didn't see those. I wish they gave you the specs on the damn things. I'll have to look elsewhere for measurements for these. Do you have a squire bass and did you upgrade your tuners?

I bought a used, heavily upgraded Squier P bass, but its a lefty. I have three black tuners and a drop d available but, the drop d isn't reversible.

The previous owner had changed the tuners to schallers; that's why I knew they weren't drop ins. The back of my headstock looks like it was hit by a shotgun.

Heh. This bass is brand new. It's a cheapo, but I'd like to keep it 1/2 decent, but if I have to hack, I have to hack. Use to it. Everything I f'n buy requires modification.

I also have a Squier Vintage Modified 70s Jazz Bass. Bought it new, put fender ML flats on it and changed the pick guard screws to black. That's all I'm gonna do to the Jazz.

The schallers are very nice tuners, I don't know anything about the wilkinson but, I'm very happy with the tuners on my jazz and they look just like the wilkinsons I directed you to.
