Fender 'Mr Gearhead' bass string ferrules, unused.

[cameltoe]

Up for grabs- An unopened pack of Fender 'Mr Gearhead' string ferrules for a project that never got off the ground!

Can't remember what I paid now, think it was roughly £18, but I know I had to have them shipped from the US, as I wanted genuine Fender parts.

Is £10 delivered too much?

Bump- perfect for converting to string-thru!

Hi, I have been searching around for a set of these and allparts have repro ones:

Sorry now sold.

I bought them from US eBay, if it helps.

Here, this is the same as what I bought;

There is something reassuring about using Fender parts, which is why I spent the extra cash, even though mine were slightly more expensive at the time. But having used Gotoh res-o-lite tuners before, and seen the tuner ferrules not properly fit the holes in the headstock (even though the tuners were a perfect fit) it's worth spending a few extra ££'s.
