I make a newbie mistake Received the Schaller BMFL tuners but the mounting plates are to big for my headstock, now i don´t now if the BM series (same price as BMFL) suit or I must order the M4S series but the M4S is almost double price. So I am in the meddle of the bridge sort of speak. newbie

[quote name='EdwardHimself' post='879719' date='Jun 28 2010, 11:42 AM']The first thing you should ask yourself is what type of tuners do you want? Big, old school fender style tuners or modern smaller lightweight tuners? Personally i think this style of bass would look nice with the older big fender style tuners. That's just MO though. So 2 types of tuners. Old School: I bought GOTOH fender style tuners and i think they're pretty good quality, certainly fine for what you would want it for. The only issue really is the mass of the tuners. Hipshot make these type of tuners called "ultralite" which look like the big fender tuners from the front but are a lot lighter in mass and have a smaller footprint so are easier to place on the headstock. But they are expensive and if your body is heavy enough already then you might not need them to avoid neck dive. Modern: Although i don't think this bass would look as good with modern style tuners, the ones to look out for are GOTOH GB7s and hipshot "Y" tuners. Again, GOTOH are cheaper but the hipshot tuners have that quality feel about them. Not that GOTOH are bad quality whatsoever. As for bridges, I think you're pretty much onto a winner with that GOTOH 201 bridge, my bass has that style of bridge and what i like about it is the fact that you actually have proper screws to adjust intonation which is just a lot easier than having to use allen wrenches and adjust everything by hand imo.[/quote] Thanks for your thoughts ... I´m steel searching.

[quote name='henry norton' post='879010' date='Jun 27 2010, 05:45 PM']They're all good. Gotoh are usually the cheapest, Schaller and Hipshot are about the same cost-wise. With Schaller you get beautifully designed and packaged hardware whereas Hipshot give you a wider choice of materials, shapes and sizes for bass hardware. It's all good stuff though.[/quote] Thanks for the support But i´m still stuck I don´t have any experience in buy those stuff so one help would be great [b]Tuners:[/b] Gotoh what model? Schaller what model? [b]Bridge:[/b] Gotoh maybe the 201 Schaller ??? [b]Pups [/b] I would like a PJ configuration Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English Cheers mate RR

What your advice for hardware in my first project? Hipshot, Gotoh or Schaller???
