SPHDS Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I would like to get a D-Tuner for my Explorer and my father has offered to get one for my birthday.....so I want to make sure he gets the right model.....according to the Hipshot Website I need a 'GB-7' http://store.hipshotproducts.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=72 Just want to make sure this is right before money is spent.....had heard and read about this 'not quite fitting' on some basses (posts not being long enough etc....!) Also heard that these don't work with brass nuts, is this true or just they don't work quite as reliable as with graphite...!?! Any info would be helpful Cheers Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any info would be helpful Cheers Sam [/quote]I had a graphite nut installed when I got my D-Tuner years ago. I suspect that the thing with a brass nut is that it is harder than graphing or a standard nut, and there is a greater potential for it to catch on the way down or back up. Whether that is in fact the case I couldn't say. What I can say is I love mine and have since I got it. Just remember to follow the instructions when restringing and enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPHDS Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Cheers Gang! Knew I could rely on you! Now to get the D-Tuner! Re. nut, thought that might be the case, will see how it goes, and if it proves a pain in the posterior, tuning wise, will get the nut swapped......! Just a thought......would a roller nut work.......!?! (or am I grasping the wrong end of the twig......!?!) Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartelby Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I've had a D-Tuner on an Aria Pro II with a brass nut for over 20 years and never noticed any problems... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
