yes i am certain i havn't put the strings on the wrong way.
some of the early fender basses tuners went backwards, my JV being a fairly good copy of a 1957 P bass also has these backwards tuners.
baffeling if you then pick up another bass inbetween songs and go to tune up and it goes down...

All Fender basses to some point in 1966 had 'reverse' machines. At that point, Forrest White got two variants of 'non reverse' machines made in-house, normal cloverleaf and paddle (oval) tuners.
I use one of each bass type every gig (51RI and MIM Std), and have got used to switching between them now!
