Twincam Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 I have a squire vm mustang the tuners are junk! Worst I've ever used. So I want to replace them. Can anyone tell me which tuners are an exact replacement. I don't fancy drilling any new screw holes etc. I have no clue about tuner sizes etc so help me out please. Quote
Les Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Can't help you with the sizes but it might be a good opportunity to put lighter ones on as it may help with the little bit of neck dive they have. Les Quote
Twincam Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 2014 Yeah the neck dive I think is pretty bad seems worse than a eb0 bass. But the way I play I don't suffer to much anyhow. Unless I'm trying to actually induce it. Quote
2x18 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Grover Vintage tuners are a very close fit on my modded Squier Mustang ( Sunburst with Gibson Thunderbird bass pickup )-- just had one screw hole on each tuner to reposition and the vacant screw hole is hidden under the tuner! Will. Quote
JapanAxe Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Can you post a pic of the tuners in place on the back of the headstock? I have had no problems with the tuners on my Fender MIM Pawn Shop Mustang - it would be interesting to compare the designs / screw layout. Also have you checked out [url="http://wdmusic.co.uk"]WD Music[/url]? I recently enquired about a pickguard and they contacted Fender to check which model years it would fit. Quote
Twincam Posted March 7, 2014 Author Posted March 7, 2014 Yeah sure here you go. the one up close is you look you can see wear the chrome is coming off. This bass is what a week old!.

JapanAxe Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 OK here's a pic of the tuners on the Pawn Shop Mustang: Quote
Twincam Posted March 8, 2014 Author Posted March 8, 2014 Much better quality. Wonder if they will be a straight fit in. Quote

[/quote] The PSM Mustang tuner has 20 teeth on the cog compared to the Squier's 19, and more of the worm is threaded on the PSM, but the screw layout looks similar. [url="http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/gotoh-vintage-style-bass-tuners-open-gear-nickel-2163-p.asp"]These Gotohs[/url] look similar, but you would have to be sure of all your dimensions (and the cogs have 26 teeth!)
