270degrees Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hi, guys. I'm having a new neck made and am considering getting new machine heads, rather than reuse the old ones: other than aesthetics, what do I need to consider? Do the different-sized posts make any difference to anything? (I'm thinking of these: [url="http://bass-machine-heads.com/hp135296/Artikel-Liste.htm?ITServ=CY736caae7X12f5571ee3bXY16e5"]http://bass-machine-heads.com/hp135296/Art...f5571ee3bXY16e5[/url] - where's the best place to buy 'em?) Cheers, Neill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 These are very similar to those on my Fender Zone - I've never had any problems with them!! To be fair though it's virtually lived in it's case since I bought it so these haven't had the most strenuous road test!! I've got the M4s on both my VCs and on my Jaydee - can't be faulted IMO..

270degrees Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 I'd found Touchstone before I saw your link, TG; in fact, I came back to post about them. Considerably cheaper than the usual suspects and brilliant service. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I can't comment on those ones but I have fitted the Hipshots and agree that lightweight is the way to go, as it makes for a better balanced bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
