Fender PB70 Japanese P Bass

[Pow_22]

[size="3"][color="#000000"][font="Calibri"]My Japanese Fender PB70 has developed a problem in that the G string machine head no longer holds tune. Im looking for a replacement and will probably end up replacing all 4 tuners. I think it is going to be pretty much impossible to find a drop-in replacement set that won’t involve drilling [/font][font=Wingdings][font=Wingdings]L[/font][/font][font="Calibri"].[/font][/color][/size]

[font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]In keeping with the 70’s vibe of the bass I have seen the Fender Pure Vintage 70’s Machine Heads that look similar but possible with a larger back plate which could obviously prove problematic. I know there a few PB70 owners on here so has anyone replaced their machine heads at all? If so what with, a cheekily, did you keep the originals?[/color][/size][/font]

If it is a PB70-US model, then you can find Wilkinson Tuning Keys on ebay that are a great upgrade and drop straight on like-for-like, if Raggy can't help.
