Hi all.I am looking to upgrade my tuners rbx170.Has anyone had any experience with these wilkinson tuners [url="http://www.chguitars.co.uk/tuners/bass-2-a-side/no11-wilkinson-bass-guitar-tuners-914.html"]http://www.chguitars.co.uk/tuners/bass-2-a-side/no11-wilkinson-bass-guitar-tuners-914.html[/url].
They seem a bit too cheap.

I was also looking at the warwick ones

Gotoh or Schaller are the best IMO. I think Warwick used Schaller until they started making their own.
Gotoh are Japanese, so you'll find them on many high end Japanese basses, Schaller are German, hence they were used by Warwick. Both of these makes are rather expensive, and it may well be a false economy to get them for some basses. i once bought a bass off eBay because it had been upgraded with Schaller tuners, and the bass was worth less than the tuners!

Wilkinson stuff is pretty cheap and its good for the money, its not the sort of quality you'd expect on a £1,000+ bass, but It'll do the job perfectly well though. I would trust the brand over any no-name ones you can get off eBay.
