Adey Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) I've got an old Matsumoku P Bass from late 1970s with ye olde Yamaha BB type tuners with the sleeve around the shaft to adjust the tuner tension. (Does anyone know who used to make these?) They look like this Anyway, these should have a tiny litle C spanner to adjust them with. but hens teeth are probably more common these days. The C spanner would locate in the little holes and you can then tighten or loosen the sleeve up. I couldn't find a satisfactory way to tighten them up without this spanner.... until now I got one of these bulldog clips and took one of the arms off it and then bent it And it can then be fitted into the little holes perfectly and used to tighten and loosen Just the job..... 🙂 Edited October 16, 2022 by Adey 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doomed Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Brilliant, my old 83 Tokai Jazz has very similar tuners, I'll be re-purposing a Bulldog Clip very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an inveterate fiddler, I love that, and I just know you do too. In fact, this website should be renamed FiddlyChat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djc63 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) This is the tool. I recently bought an 80s Yamaha BB which surprisingly came with original tool kit. Took me a few minutes to figure out what it was for! Edited November 27, 2022 by djc63 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
