Just had a look on Bass Direct website and they say that TI Hofner set only fit the German models and the tuners on the Far East models are even smaller.

We’ll I won’t be taking Dremmel to my Schallers any time soon. I’m loaded up with Jazz Flats and that’s how it’s going to stay.
If anyone else gives it a go, do let us know how much a replacement set costs.
Do they do a Hofner set? The problem is that Hofner tuners are pretty much just guitar tuner sized and standard bass strings won’t fit through the holes.
