Greene-Mann Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hey guys (and some girls no doubt) want to replace the machine head bushings mainly (i hate the cheapo ones they slap on them) but because theyre so chunky, a standard schaller 17.5 bushing is too small because these crappy korean (or whatever) made bushings are so chunky... Has anyone changed their machine heads and bushings on their Fender Highway1's, Mexicans? and i think even squiers use the same sh*te machine heads... Just need to get rid of these things lol Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bass Doc Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I've replaced the tuners on a few Mex basses but found it best to keep the chunky bushings they came with - as long as you are fitting better quality tuners themselves, I find the quality of the bushings of little significance.

Greene-Mann Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 i have had a set of Schaller BML on it without changing the bushings which was great, majorly improved the tension...its more of a cosmetic thing to be honest...would epoxying around the schaller bushing to lump it up be a good idea or am i just thinking too hard over it?...the lip of the bushing is large so it covers the hole completely, so it could work....or then again as i said am i just being too picky?
