Hold On - Adele

I'm looking to replace the tuners on my ~1980 Yamaha Pulser 400, as the current ones are quite heavy and have a rattle/buzz I can't get rid of. It's a pretty faithful replica of a '72-73 Precision with the big trapezoidal tuners - I ordered some Hipshot 1/2" Ultralites but they were too small and the keys looked hilariously stubby. The Gotoh GB640's seem like they'd fit correctly minus the screw holes (they have the hexagonal 50s-60s plates), but are only available in nickel instead of the '70s chrome. Anyone have experience swapping tuners on a Pulser or actual '70s Fender? And how out of place would nickel Gotohs look on a '70s bass if those are my only option?

While Martin is known mostly for being in Eastenders and Gogglebox, he also played a bit of bass in the 80s. But he is currently touring his DJ set. Hurting a few fingers but still being able to press a few buttons on his laptop surely gains some kudos amongst the millenials?

A dozy thing to do but ordinarily one would not come completely undone picking up a chainsaw by the 'blade' You might slice a couple of fingers on the points when it got away away on you but the blade is stationary until you gun it. I am calling BS on the whole thing. It would be a superhuman effort to grasp the chainbar ahead of the drive motor and lift. Like trying to pick up a bass horizontal from the 3rd fret. There is a front handle for that. One handing the saw while operating and using other hand to muck about with the wood and oops/AAAAAAARRRRGGG!!!!!. That I can buy.

So, how do we identify ourselves? Do we wear lanyards with both our pseudonym and our real name on it? Do we have a cut-out of our basschat icon, worn as a mask - and then remove them when the organising committee start to play the basschat theme song? Uncannily, my real name is not bass_dinger, and I only spoke with Prowla and Hamster two years ago - so, I am wondering how I will make myself known as Robert.
