Fender USA don't make closed back tuners! .. but I know which ones you mean To simply answer your question: yes the holes are 11/16ths so the ferrules will fit. but there are so many reason why this is a bad Idea IMO.. firstly, which has been said.. you woud have to drill screw holes for mounting. but more importantly, vintage headstock holes are tapered, smaller on the back and bigger on the front for the ferrules, this is for better alignment and stability!.. yours have the same size hole front to back so there could more string tension weight on the ferrules and mounting screws If not properly aligned and could cause tuning and stability probs! There is also 4 indentations on the rear of vintage heastocks so that the backplate sits flush to headstock which is for better surface contact, alignment and stability. which yours wont have! they are not essential but if you want better surface contact etc.. they will need to be done correctly aligned too!. Hipshot tuners are better IMO because backplates are filed flat so there is no need for the indentations. Also the binding posts (or stems as you call them) are not longer on vintage tuners, they only appear to be because vintage headstocks are physically thinner than yours! .. so you wouldn't gain any length! If your gonna go ahead with doing this anyway.. I would get a good luthier to do the job right. but in all honesty I think it's a daft idea and a waste of money. also, modern tuners are simply better quality IMO too.

Jim bought my Bruce Lee jazz bass.. no sorry, Christopher Lee! or was it Albert Lee.. or maybe Brenda Lee! Ah no.. I remember.. It was Geddy Lee thats it Jim's a real nice bloke, met him twice now and always a pleasure. Hope you enjoy the Geddy as much as I have! .. Thanks again Jim Kind regards Chris

Matt bought a Fender bass case from me. A great guy to deal with.. Highly recommended Thanks again Matt Chris

You sure it's The Packhouse? .. If so it's a new one on me! .. whats the address? or did you mean The Packhorse?

Grahams another great Basschatter to deal with .. highly recommended

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1345791364' post='1781488'] And even if it had been the more modern style connection the lead that you use to plug your amp into the mains still wouldn't have fitted. Kettles require a higher rated cable and connectors to withstand the extra current drawn and also the heat generated by the kettle itself. To prevent you from using a standard equipment power lead which won't be adequately rated, the socket on the kettle is slightly different so that it won't fit. You can however use the lead that came with your kettle to plug in your amp, just not the other way around. [/quote] Not sure if your quoting me in order to tell me this info!. .. but I already know mate. Its why i don't call them all "Kettle Leads" .. which is just a nickname anyway, but there you go. I will also add.. that the info above is not definitive either! as there are lower watt rated kettles that will accept the leads that your amplifier uses.

Stewart bought my Lexicon reverb, and I can honestly say.. the guy's a star Very easy to deal with, prompt payment and excellent communication. highly recommended indeed. Kind regards Chris

The one wire coming out of the pickups is coaxial (contains both wires)! hear is the pdf for wiring instructions : [url="http://www.emgpickups.com/content/wiringdiagrams/SEJ_0230-0056.pdf"]http://www.emgpickups.com/content/wiringdiagrams/SEJ_0230-0056.pdf[/url] .. diagram 2

[quote name='BRANCINI' timestamp='1345655215' post='1780132'] Done it a lot for stuff thats connected into mains spurs, But , if you cut the plug off a foriegn KETTLE LEAD, you might find that the colours are not the same as with a UK one. Theyre only cheap, and a moulded plug is a safer bet anyway imo, so why bother ? Just buy one. [/quote] I never mensioned foreign Kettle Leads!

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1345656440' post='1780151'] I spied that. It was the only pic I could get quick access at my work that would post (tried a few others but most are blocked ) [/quote] ignore me mate .. I'm turning into my Dad lol

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1345650163' post='1780028'] Fits one of these... [/quote] Don't wanna spoil your fun mate .. but you really need to look at the ancient socket on the kettle you posted!!

The lead you have Lozz will say the rating on the IEC molded plug (the plug that goes into your amp), they're usually 6A or 10A, some are 13A. but as the PF500 power requirements are 200-240 VAC, 50-60 HZ, 125W .. any of these cables will be fine fitted with a 3A Fuse.

Do you mean 2 pin plug? .. you can just cut the plug off and fit a standard UK plug no probs.
