not sure where this should go, so i'll put it here and it'll be moved if i'm wrong...
anyway, assembling my first p(arts)bass, and the tuners i have (gfs wilkinson) are quite a bit smaller than the 11/16" holes in the headstock
if i had to guess, there's a good 1/16-1/8 inch gap all the way around the peg
are there bushings for this purpose?
is this even anything i need to worry about (it attaches with 4 screws on the baseplate)?
thanks in advance for the help!

Yes. Do a quick Google search for "Bass Tuner Bushings". Check the diameter of the tuner hole in the headstock with the diameter of the shaft on the actual tuner you have in hand. There are several sizes available, but they usually do the job with a minimum of hassle on your part. HTC1 EDIT: www.buzzardsbass.com/parts/tuning-machines/parts.html |

hey the tuners came with bushings, they were at the bottom of the box... Don't worry about it. As the years advance, and CRS begins to set in, things like this will happen all the time. Tools will instantly disappear, then magically reappear...reminder notes become useless as you forgot where you put the damn piece of paper... Eventually, if you hang around long enough, you may become judicial in your time...hope springs eternal... Happy Trails Cynical One |
