pjbass Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Yep, public transport and a not entirely sober bass player has resulted in a broken machinehead on my s-1 jazz. I've had a search online, but so far i've only found "bass parts resource" which is in the US. Does anyone know a place in the UK that can sell me a single OEM replacement? ta much, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubrad Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Try any decent Fender dealer for a badged replacement. Probably to order in but should be available. We have a few single Schaller (often used on Fender) in the shop. Someone on BC may be selling one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Just to let you know, Bass Parts Resource are good to deal with, a number of us have used them in the past, obviously you'll have to wait the 4/5 weeks for it to come from across the pond, but no problems when I've used them.

paul h Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I haven't used the Bass Parts Resource for a couple of years but my last order of a set of ashtrays and a NOS j pickup arrived in about 4 days! Obviously I was just lucky I guess, but the previous time I am sure it was no where near the 4/5 weeks delivery time. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I have some spares (from the Bass Doc who rescued me when I was in a similar situation). Post a pic of the tuner in question and if it's the right one you're sorted. By the way, a few weeks back I ordered from BPR on a Monday and the part arrived on the Thursday. 4 days from the states!

Thanks for the suggestions guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
