Squier CV P Bass machine head replacement ..

[mike 110]

Any recommendations ? Preferably ones that'll drop in without drilling ...

Gotoh are reliable and not expensive.

I have some Squier tuning heads here. I'll measure one in the morning and PM you.

If you're just changing one, maybe fit a drop D tuner? Slightly more expensive than a straightforward tuner but really handy if you do any de-tuning

Edit to say I recently fitted a Hipshot GB7 on my Indonesian Squier P-Bass Special. It was the "Mexican" one. However check your measurements if you think of getting one.

Schaller BMLs drop straight in, but the tuner stem is shorter.
