Of course it is... I clearly struggle to notice the difference between four tuner holes and six 🤦‍♂️ But I can appreciate that intonation could be vexing. Thanks for replying 👍

There are some suggestions in this thread: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/466753-fitting-tuners-if-headstock-holes-are-too-big/ Most of the links still seem to work.

Really interesting conversion - and something I've never seen before. It might be a daft question, but is the string tension between a guitar and a bass comparible? Just thinking about the neck/trussrod etc.

Bought a nice Sterling bass - complete with tasteful cosmetic upgrades. All good - very considerate seller and everything worked like it should 👍

Just to bolster your confidence... I did the drill out and plug with dowel version of the fix, admittedly on a very cheap neck, and made a horrid job of it. For someone who likes woodworking I was ashamed of myself. However, it's been fitted to my office beater-bass for several years and has been completely solid. No problems with movement or strange sounds coming through the pickups or when played unplugged. Have a practice run on a bit of scrap and go for it!

I recently bought a Barefaced cab from Sam - it's in fantastic condition and it was a really easy transaction. Just how buying from the forum should be 👍

Bought a high pass filter from Pat - all went smoothly, and the guy knows how to wrap a parcel. I'm still breaking into it...
