Tuners

[Jesse8293]

I have old Grover tuners and am thinking of switching to new Schallers. Better or worse quality?? Also thinking of switching old BadAss bridge for Schaller. Same question. Anyone have recommendations?

I have grovers on my bass, and I really can't complain. They're real smooth, can't see why you'd want to swap them for something else. But I haven't tried Schallers.

Grovers and Schallers are both good tuners.

The main question is why.
Why do you think you need to change them? Or is it that you just want to change them?

Whatever your reasons, Schaller machines are great. Grovers are great too. I have heard that the newer Schaller bridge is a PIA to set up. The old Badass style Schaller's are great, and IMHO, I think they look nicer than BA's. Conventional setup with both. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Replacing the neck as it is to messed up to fix. The Grovers are 20yrs old and starting to pit, etc. I've decided to redo the entire guitar (already done once by previous owner) so I'm looking into black tuners and bridge from Schaller (old bridge is Schaller).

Check out Hipshot tuners. IMO they are the best.

Schaller lockers if you can still get them. They came stock on my mid-90s LB76. Only bass I've ever had with them and I like them a lot.
