Alternative to Xtenders

[Nice Guy Rich]

Are there any other detuners other than Hipshot Xtenders?

 

I want to out one on my cheapy Stingray copy but a Hipshot Xtender will cost more than the bass does...

 

Any ideas?

Steinberger detuner bridge for headed basses

@Doctor J Very interesting alternative but they appear to be a bit thin on the ground.

 

Looks like Hipshot is the only viable option.

Cheap tuner pedal!

Your backup bass with the alternative tuning.

@BigRedX We’re on the same wavelength, I was thinking of tuning it to DGCA to see how that goes.  This would mean that I wouldn’t have to file the nut or make too many adjustments, I’ll try it and see how it feels and plays.
