What Machine Heads ???

Hi Guys,
Anyone got opinions on the best tuners for a Jazz Bass. Bought a Mex 60's Jazz bass a while back which I love the feel and sound of, but after a while I got fed of with the Fender bridge which was flimsy and imprecise, and replaced it with a Badass II which is superb. I now want to put a decent set of tuners on cos the Fender ones are pants and are not smooth at all (got to say, having waited a lifetime for a Fender, I was gutted with the quality of the setup and the hardware, but, if you want the sound, what can you do). Anyway, a while back I changed the tuners on an Ibanez to Gotoh's and they were fantastic, so I thought I would do the same with the fender. Hipshots are too expensive, so I'm looking at Gotoh GB-29LN's or Schaller BMFL's unless anyones got other suggestions in this price range. Has anyone got any words of wisdom.
Cheers

I've got Gotohs on one of my Zons & Schallers on the other - to be honest I don't think there's much to choose between them quality-wise.
