    Hi!

    About a month ago one of those washers that sits between the Y button and the body of my tuners broke and flew off into the horizon. Here is a pic to Illustrated what im talking about.

    My question is - would buying those save the issue of replacing that washer thingy?

    Same thing happened on one of my basses; it is a Y-key Hipshot. The tuning machine still works, but I want to replace it.

    I was thinking the same but then I figured out I could just buy a washer and save a bunch of money. I was thinking of installing Hipshot Ultralites but yeah, why :) ?
    Get some washers, too!

    Sorry, I meant replace the washer, not the tuning machine. :)

    Most repair men have a junk tuner box on the shelf somewhere and will give you one if you bring coffee.
