Tuners - Machine Heads👍👍

[dodgnofski]

Hope this is the correct section to ask if anyone knows which if any long shafted - reverse wind if possible - tuners would be a direct replacement for an Indonesian Squier Vintage Modified P Bass

from 2020, including screw hole positions?

 

Thank you👍

If you put Machine Heads rather than Tuners you might have got more replies. 
 

To be more helpful, look at some of the Gotoh’s. .They are not cheap but in my opinion they are the best. You will need to measure the post hole and make sure that the machine heads will fit in the space. If it looks like you will need to modify the bass, look at different models. I did this too late, after I modded mine I found a Gotoh model that would have slipped straight in.

I'm pretty certain that any reverse wind ones will be of the large plate variety, and the holes won't line up. 

 

The existing holes will be hidden. I have done this myself in the past. The holes on the right may line up ok.

If you are going for an economy option try Wilkinson. IMHO better than the MHs on most far-East basses.  However I would measure three dimensions on your bass, the distance between the pairs of screw holes at each end the distance between the two rows.

 

If you look at say the GB-640s from Gotoh you will see the dimensions that  I mean. Gotoh GB640

 

The alternative style is the GB520. Fewer holes and smaller backplate but from memory better retro-fitting to  Japanese/Korean/Indonesian instruments. 
 

Both of theses are Res-O-Lite series so expect to pay around £100 for them. They are very light though and if you are happy with standard weight machine heads, Gotoh and others have that covered. 
 

I would finish by saying check the dimensions before buying as it nearly led to a costly mistake in my case.
