Baxter Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Hi Folks. I've a Squier VM telecaster bass - the big single humbucker one. I've done a few mods on it and it's sounding and looking pretty good aside the tuning slips a good more than my other basses. So I'd like to change the tuners over with something that's a straight swap as I've already retinted the neck and would rather have no further holes. So it seems that it's fitted with the same design and screw spacing as mexican standard and usa highway 1. It seems that hipshot hb7 is a direct replacement but £100 is a bit steep So the question is are standard MIM tuners likely to be any better than the Squier ones. They do have different spare part numbers. Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I've got some Squier tuners going begging. I have had them on a bass and they held ok. If you're interested PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iubitu Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 well i have bought the HB7 for my ex-Squier but found them alot cheaper through [i]allparts[/i]. back then when i bought them i asked Hipshot for prices and they quoted me around 200 pounds for them (4+1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baxter Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 Thanks Grangur, but I think I'd be we as well to upgrrade the Squier ones if I'm going to swap them over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
