Bassmonkey Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Playing at a local music festival earlier today - we were first on. Had to clamber up a ladder on to a flatbed truck. Stood my USA P Bass in its case on the back, turned away and it fell on to the grass. Snapped one of the tuners off. B*gger. Don’t suppose anyone has a spare they’d part with? Also playing last in my proper band so had to come home for a change of guitar. Luckily the G stayed in tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Great excuse to get yourself a D Tuner. Swap the E for the damaged G. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a very similar experience with one of my Sandbergs. I emailed them directly asking to purchase a replacement - they sent me a replacement tuner with no fuss, from Germany, free of charge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
