Grrr - I dismantled it and the main headshell is directional; the keywind shaft will only go in from one end.
The part of the shaft leading out to the keywind has a sleeve around it and it has a tiny metal bar (a bit like if you snap the lead on a propelling pencil) which locates into a notch on the headshell.
So nope, they're not reversible.
They're not dissimilar in style to the Vox Clubman I'm working on.
I got it with the silver & lines overpaint and amusing gold-painted "Fender" logo; it's now (almost) stripped and ready to paint.
I've got a set of 4R gold Schaller M4S tuners, but I want 2L+2R ones.
Is anybody in the opposite situation?
Alternatively, I could swap for 2L+2R Schaller BM, either gold or black.
My tuners are in good used condition.
(It's a stock picture.)
I've got a Hipshot chrome finish brass bridge and I'd like to strip it back to the bare brass.
Has anybody done this, any advice?
Presumably I would dismantle it, but could that leave the Allen grub screw threads loose?

Someone got a factory end of line/unfinished/2nds job lot; I think he's sold all the basses now, but has some guitars.
Unlike most current copies, these are true Ric 33.25" scale.
I didn't see any left-hookers.
Here y'go!
The red/wine one is going to be a 5-string.
The cream one may be a 4000, but I think it could be better with the neck pickup.
The blue one is the one I'm debating putting that brass pickguard on, which will then cascade out to the other bits...
I got the MIDI Mongoose, but haven't tried it yet; I think it's either something I'll "get" or it'll be a pain in the rear doing a little dance (the "mongoose step"?) operating it.
