Do you know if the wilko Tuners can be reversed so I could use them in 3+1?

I've never tried it but yes I think they can!

I thought it would be; the spacing between the screws on the Squier CV bridge is slightly wider than standard, so it likely wont fit without a fill/re-drill.

I understand that to be true too yup, sorry!

I'm also looking for tuners for a bass with a Squier-sized headstock. So I believe, like mine, you would need to ream the holes in the body to be a little larger. That said, I did find the Wilkinson spigots fitted neatly into to bushes from the original tuners.

The problem I have, though, is the headstock on my bass is the same size as the Squier one - too small to take the Wilkinsons, unless you're prepared to ream off a mm or 2 on each end of the plate.

Fenders have bigger headstocks than Squiers. So regrettably the Wilkinsons are really suited to a Fender.

What I have found is the Grover Vintage style:

They're the right size for a smaller headstock. But they sell in the UK for £60. This might be a tiny bit rich for a Squier or similar.
Sorry if this is negative to your sale, Dood. But I know you're an honest and open guy.

If it's a Squier Vintage Modified P5 (there aren't any Classic Vibe fivers as far as I know), the machine heads are the same as those on the Mexican Standards. Some Squiers have smaller headstocks, but I think the VMs would have the same headstock size as a Fender; I know both my CV and Matt Freeman do. Looking at the 4-string version, there's more than enough room for the Wilkinsons but they'd not fit on the 5-string.

My bad, it is indeed a Vintage Modified P5.

This is really helpful actually, thank you. I genuinely didn't know that Squiers had smaller headstocks! Different shape yes, but smaller I hadn't realised. Come to think of it, I've never actually owned a Squier either!

Cheers peeps :)
