Hipshot 1/2 “ USA Ultralite bushing adapters

[Silky999]

Folks,

 

Just a heads up that the 18mm adapters for USA 1/2” ultralites are getting harder and more expensive to source. I have just bought some tuners from Lozz on here and thought I would get some adapters in as I have before for previous builds. Whether it is Trump’s Tariffs or just supply issues but they are impossible to source in the UK and I was left with two options; direct from USA costing $70 to ship alone or order from Germany at €36 including shipping. Bear in mind that these are normally £5 each from Bassdirect so max of £20-plus shipping. 
 

I think I will have to rethink my tuner choices on builds going forward.

Guyker told me that they will be coming out with some ½" lightweight tuners at some point this year. I've heard their hardware is pretty good.
