Just found these little beasties that might do the trick: https://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/p142858/FMB1009D-Flanged-Wrapped-Steel-Plain-Backed-Bush-10x12x9mm/product_info.html

Thanks for all of this, most helpful and I will investigate further. I would indeed like to keep the tuners and work out something for the bushings if I can't find anything.

Here are some pics of the various bits as requested.

I'll get a couple of pics sorted out (good point). Just wondering whether it might be worth a try with the Eko items. Ideally I'd like to avoid woodwork and keep as much of the original bits as possible.

I have one original bushing currently still in place and three holes with tuners rattling around (how I got the bass), plus the stress on the tuners has caused some of the screw holes to be enlarged but I can fix that. In a worst case scenario I was thinking about going down to the local hardware store and seeing if there is any copper piping that is approximately the right size.

Thanks for getting in touch. There are the push in type which sounds like the ones you may not be able help with

Yes you'll need different pots for sure (and depending on the quality of the item fitted a new jack socket is often in order. You could do a lot worse than PM our very own Kiogon who makes very good quality passivel looms.

I have done this with a Sandberg Electra bass. No real issues for me at any rate on that particular instrument.

My fav Fendery colour is Midnight Wine, or possibly Dakota Red

Not tried this particular bass, but the Sandberg VS is a similar beast and I like those a lot for much the same reasons as Cici was saying. Only major difference is the Delano/Glcok setup on the Sandberg and that most seem to be really light these days. My VS was less that 8lbs.

I've not listened to Rammstein much I'm afraid to say but like what I've seen on the tellybox and interweb. What's a good entry point?

Yeah I can empathise with the OP. I had a period of playing a lot of fretted bass in cover bands where the opportunity to play fretless (my first love) was pretty limited. Last year I took the conscious decision to unload a few fretted basses and play more fretless.

Hi folks Does anyone know where I can find some tuner bushings to fit a 13mm headstock hole and a 9mm post please? I've done lots of Googling but to no avail so far. Thanks

Great pic. This one seems pretty light at c.3.5kgs. It's not had an easy life and has clearly been gigged and bits of hardware need replacing e.g. tuner bushings.

Zombie thread resurrection. I have just picked up a bass from our guitarist who asked me to give it some TLC, a clean and a set up. Turns out to be a 1972 Framus 'Jazz' so also keen to know more as not a lot of info out there.

Just completed a trade with Paul for a nice Greco P bass. He is a top bloke to deal with and it was all made very easy and straightforward to arrange. Thanks very much.

Good album that one. Could add Free and, to an extent, Bad Company to the list too.

I've seen Joan Shaw Taylor live several time. SHe has a great bassist (possibly Italian?). Also Ainsley Lister for the newer approach.

My favourite is a 4" wide well padded item I got from Overwater (probs made elsewhere). I routinely scour the Marketplace for preloved ones as I cannot find them anywhere. I've had it for years and noting comes close.

I enjoy these guys. Leo Lyons (10 Years After on bass):

It can't be easy heading up say EBMM or Fender, maybe even RIC. You have a tried and tested formula that folks hate and love in equal measure, then get loved/slated for introducing new variants. You introduce something a bit more left-field, then get loved/slated for introducing new ideas and not sticking to the trusted formula. Everyone loves/hates your brand ambassadors. Looks like catering is a much safer option. Anybody want chips with that?

I've had a few sets through the D'Addario Players Circle thing. TBH I've always gone back to my preferred EXL170BTs. Not sure I can explain precisely why but I just seem to get on better with them. I live in fear of them being discontinued.

Pete ha very kindly relieved me of the burden of ownership of a pedal board. As has been said many times already he he is top bloke to deal with and made the whole process so very easy. Many thanks.
