danny-79 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Recently fitted a hipshot D tuner to my stingray and am very pleased with it, to only problem (part of it that i dont like) is the post, its straight rather than tapered , ive tryed mixing an matching the parts from the original tuner but the fitting it to short, ive heard that tapered posts are avalible from hipshot but havent any luck finding one as yet. just asking if anybody else has found the same thing, and general coments/tips for them that others have found and just the general opinion of them very welcome, Dan.

henry norton Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 TBH I don't think it looks bad because it's got a straight post, it would hardly stand out at all but for the fact that it's not chrome. Maybe there's somebody out there who'd want to swap a chrome for a black chrome D tuner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I've got one with the trounded end and captan type thing, but its the Fender deluxe type, wwith the F stamp on the back. Its chrome, on a bass where the rest are straight. If yours were chrome, I'd swap for postage, but I don't really care as nothing else on my bass matches anyway.

If you've got a leccy drill you could drill the hole a bit deeper.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
