neepheid Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 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.

brensabre79 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 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!)

Beer of the Bass Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scojack Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 Thanks guys that'll be 3L+2R then. Glad i asked cause i was going to order them t'other way round! Ian (DOH) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iiipopes Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rk7 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 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? RK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
