Which Hipshot Bass Xtender do I need?

[Aidan MacLean]

Hi all, I'm looking to buy one of these, I have a Fender American Professional PBass, one of the ones from around 2016 or so. I'm not sure which of the Hipshot models is designed for it, any help much appreciated!

Pictures of your headstock would help, but I believe the AmPro used the same tuners as the previous AmStd, in which case you want the BT12.

Also, is there any benefit to buying the tuner with the lever installed? Is it hard to do it yourself?

And anyone know how long the delivery times are from the hipshot website?

That’s the BT12 all right. I got mine from bestbassgear.com, delivery times will depend on available stock, I had to wait a few weeks for mine, but it’s usually a good deal quicker than ordering directly from Hipshot for some reason.

The detuner comes with the lever already installed, and is a drop-in replacement for the old tuner.

if you contact HiPShot by emailing your question, they will respond within 2 days. I have purchased and installed 4 of these on my MusicMan Sterling basses. I followed a YouTube video that demonstrates installation. It took about 15 minutes to install, and a bit longer to get the tuning perfect. HipShot sends tuning instructions that work perfectly.

3 of the 4 I bought on Amazon, the last was only available from HipShot, and was more expensive.

Highly recommend this product!!

They’re very easy to install, and the BT12 is the easiest of all, as it doesn’t involve disassembling the detuner to get at any mounting screws. You just undo the fixing nut on the front of the headstock, remove the old tuner and drop in the new one. Replace the fixing nut, and you’re good to go!

Which model Hipshot is that? Is that Fender Ultra Jazz bass?

 

[davidak]

It's Hipshot BT12.

Compatible as far as I know with Am Pro/Pro2/Elite/Ultra.
