waynepunkdude Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I just noticed the tuners on my 1992 MIM Jazz are Schaller , is that right or have they been added later? Quote

waynepunkdude Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 TBH I never got the aftermarket tuner thing, if it stays in tune whats the problem? Quote

I bought some tuners advertised as genuine Fender (presumably MIM type) and they were neither Fender nor Schaller stamped. They had nasty sharp edges compared to any Fender, Schaller or Gotoh P type tuners I've ever seen. Quote

They have the same tuners as MIA reissues. The stock blank MIMs are the same tuners you get on Highway 1's Quote

thisnameistaken Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I'm surprised anyone looks at tuners for long enough to notice these things. If you asked me to draw the tuners on my Thumb bass I'd probably do it wrong. I've played it every day for the last seven years. Quote
mrcrow Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 looks should be the criteria on fenders a good machine head should hold the tune and like the schallers allow the tuning wheel to be adjusted for tension locking tuners are the answer for gig bags Quote
