Guest MoJo Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I'm looking for some new machine heads / tuners for my BB300. Looking for open backed P-bass type. Fore-runners are Grover and Gotoh but, I've seen Wilkinson sets on eBay at a reasonable cost and wondered if anyone had any experience of them.

Stacker Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 IIRC the vintage style ones may protrude above the headstock at the G end by about a mm or so. Other than that I found them to be good weigth and did the job ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I have a set of Wilkinsons on my CIJ Precision (different shape to the BB300 so can't comment on fit) - they are very good quality with a smooth positive action. Yup, like 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnyboy Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I've got a set of the jumbo vintage style on my Mex Jazz and i really think they are good especially for the price - £25(?) fitted fine - just- They look good and are nice & smooth.

gary mac Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 My experiences with Wilkinson kit have all been good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomBass Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Ditto the comments above. Have had two Vintage V4s with Wilko tuners and they are solid, smooth and a nice ratio. Also replaced some crap ones on an SX bass with some - in another league completely. Recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddy54 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Same as above, had a set put on my jazz about 3 years ago and have had no problems at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmachine2112 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 NOS schallers,can,t go wrong,got a set off fleabag for buttons still in box-quality These replaced wilkinson ones which were fine-I just liked the yellowing colour of old chrome ones which went better with a maple neck.
