Guest MoJo Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I have a set of four, chrome Gotoh GB640's, currently residing on my P-bass. I want to swap them over to my recently acquired SBMM S.U.B.5, but obviously, I'm going to need an extra GB640 for the fifth string. Does anyone know where I can get a single machine head? Also will a standard GB640 do the job or do I need a GB640R, as it's on the other side of the head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chienmortbb Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Not sure about the R version but give Touchstone Tonewoods a ring as they ordered me a set recently. Lead time was 2 months.

It looks as though the GB640 is 'left hand only' and can't be used on the right hand side of the headstock. Gotoh have recommended GB528's If I've got to but a complete set, I may look at Hipshot Ultralites too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chienmortbb Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I have yet to fit my 640s as I need to make the holes bigger but I am impressed that you can adjust the torque. I am also impressed at the lack of play in the posts as opposed to any other machine heads I have seen. Add the weight saving and it is a winner.
