when I thought I have seen everything.....

I think you mean tunewood.

Oh geez.....now we have another topic to debate affect of tone by woods.....

 

[Hounddog409]

don't see an issue with them. Very nice work for whoever crafted them.
Its a Pbass. Not like this is some rare one of a kind bass.

Dime a dozen

Obligatory:
Weight??? Does it neck dive???

[Thinks to self: "Hmmm... I wonder if I can get my grandma to knit me some tuner cozies???"]

Not my thing, but on the other hand, I respect individuality most of the time, so I give it a Thumbs Up.
I’ve rather have that than this:

Looks fine to me. I am not concerned with visual appeal enough to pay for them, but they wouldn’t stop me from buying a bass if it was otherwise what I was looking for.

 

[ONYX]

I'm going against popular opinion here and say that I like them. They would look good on my fretless.

 

[bearfoot]

Has a certain “earthy” flavor to it. Just my opinion here, there’s such a thing as great execution of a bad idea.

I actually specialize in those...

I was musing on the arbitrary primacy of clover-shaped tuners the other day also. Why wouldn’t this be a reasonable design?

Too Squeaky?

 

[GTx2]

Inlay needs to be tort to match the pick guard

Tonal reasons as well.....

 

[groooooove]

i would like it in different colored woods

still won't be everyone's "thing" though..

 

[bassbrad]

Looks cartoonish, Flintstones or Jetsons

 

[wizerd]

Just because I don’t know what they are doesn’t stop me from thinking they came out of a 1986 Reliant K-car.

I had a K car and nothing about it was a nice as these tuners.

Am I the only one who thinks the usual butterfly tuners look utterly ridiculous?

Well, remember, they started out as lollipops. I've never heard the clover style tuners referred to as elephant ears before, but so be it.

Candies, Bullseyes, Reeses, Elephants, Mickey Mouse, Beer Tappers..........all seemingly appeals to the youth of the nation, for some strange reason!
