SBMM Ray 35: Machine head upgrade

[Johncee]

Anyone know which (if any) Schaller, Hipshot etc models would be a drop in replacement for the tuners on a Ray 35?

Mine are a bit backlashy. Which annoys me.

Cheers!

I fitted 1/2" Hipshot Lightweight Short tuners to my SBMM shorty 'Ray. I still had to add a bit of tape to make them snug though. Great upgrade, super smooth, accurate action and despite not being a huge weight saving on paper, it made the whole bass feel much lighter.
