Pirellithecat Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago Just acquired one of the above bases - very nice sound and the neck is lovely (for a P Bass!). The previous owner has replaced one of the original "aged" Pure Vintage Fnder Tuning Machines with a Hipshot Drop D Tuner which I'd like to remove (I'll never use it and it looks"wrong"). However, I can't find a replacement tuner with is a direct replacement AND has similar "aging" . Anyone know where I could get one/or buy a single Fender Pure Vintage (reverse) Tuning Machine with similar aging? The other option is to replace all the tuners with something which looks similar. Anyone know what might fit (other than the Fender Pure vintage ones)? Gotoh make some which are a slightly different design but look very similar in terms of aging. And if the replacements were lighter AND non reverse that's be a win!! Can't attach a pic as the guitar is at the Wizard guitar fettlers (The Guitar Repair Workshop in Manchester) but here's a stock pic Quote
Reggaebass Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago Maybe a silly question and I’m sure you’ve asked, but doesn’t the owner have the original matching tuner from when they changed it Quote
Pirellithecat Posted 3 hours ago Author Posted 3 hours ago Yeah, it's been "Lost" somewhere along the line. 😥 1 Quote
