5 string Tuners HELP

[scojack]

Lost the plot !!
Got myself into a state of utter confusion.....

Need to order tuners for a RH 5 String (3 on top 2 on bottom see pic)

Can someone confirm that i should order 3R+2L or is it 3L+2R ???!???

Buy reversible ones like Hipshot Ultralites?

Seriously though, I thought the L/R thing was as you look at the front of the headstock, hence the popularity of 4L sets. So in your case, 3L 2R.

As an exclusive 4 string player, this has always confused me, but I thinkn the TOP is L and the bottom is R - so a standard 4 string Stingray would be 3L1R...

I think you need 3L2R

That's based on [url="http://www.amazon.com/Tuning-Black-Sealed-Machine-String/dp/B012MUU7L2/ref=pd_sim_sbs_267_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=31MyaM-TwDL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=04TADX1VTVXCHTVZYYDT"]this[/url]
(which is 2L3R and not what you want!)

I think that'd be three left and two right, (or at least it was that way round when I last ordered a set of tuners).

Thanks guys that'll be 3L+2R then. Glad i asked cause i was going to order them t'other way round!

And as above, please consider HipShot UltraLites, as they are very fine tuners, lightweight, smooth, precise, and you flip them with an allen key on the worm.

Yes, 3L and 2R, or 3 bass 2 treble.

I have two sets of 3L 2R here, one black and one chrome, Gotoh type, if you are interested?
