Obscure Musical Backwaters - The Great SGC Nanyo Thread

[neepheid]

Daft question (which has probably been answered in these 26 pages, I tried searching - honest!) - see the tuners are mounted facing each other (as in the E and G are mounted "upside down") - is that so that when the bass is strung up properly (with the strings following the path of least resistance and winding on the tuner on opposite sides), you still turn the tuners the way one would expect on each side of the headstock?

 

Sorry, it's one of those questions where your gut is screaming the answer at your brain, and your brain is going "hold on, gut, I need to give this some more thought"...

Yup, that's exactly it.

 

However, it is surprisingly easy to get the string routing wrong and end up with randomly turning tuners. 🙄

Now see that's the kind of attention to detail I can get on board with and tickles me greatly.
