Fishman Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Is there something that can be done to remedy loose tuners on a 70s Aria P bass? They looks great, all pitted and flaky chrome, but they won't keep things in tune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulThePlug Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Pic? Open style or closed style? Open dis.antle clean and reassemble... Maybe a recurve needed on any wavy washer if thats what used to keep tension Closed, replace the little plastic bush n washer might help if worn.. all parts do a pack(s)... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishman Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 I'm afraid there is nothing more to say other than 'loose' and 'they won't keep things in tune' Some more details… they are open and, er, that's about it I'll get them into the vice and apply the hammer to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
