ossie Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 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.

RhysP Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
