Machine head hole size on my yamaha BB414


Recommended Posts

Bit of a noob question, but I can't find the relevant information on the internet and... I... Uh... Don't really know an accurate way to measure it...

I'm planning on fitting a hipshot bass extender so need to know the correct size :)

If anyone knows or can tell me how to measure it properly please let me know :rolleyes:

Remove one of the machines and measure the hole at the back?

Just measure the diameter of the tuning post. It should measure either 1/2" (13mm) or 3/8" (10mm). These are the two standard sizes of machine heads. Pretty sure it's 1/2" like my old BB2000. Then just select a Hipshot Xtender model with the right size post and matching mounting. If in doubt email Hipshot and ask them which one will fit.
