Members blueyedmule Posted March 7, 2010 Members Share Posted March 7, 2010 Never seen those kind of tuners for an upright before. Did you get the laser pointer put in too?? And the Sims LED's in the fingerboard, too, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members J the D Posted March 7, 2010 Members Share Posted March 7, 2010 I like the full set of straps on the side to hold my Eudoxas. Hope it works out for you with that much less contact between the tuner mechanism and the instrument. Are you going to fill in the holes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bassius Posted March 7, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 7, 2010 do they serve any function beyond looking badass? they're actually a tighter gear ratio. other than that...badassedness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ebony actually protrudes just to the edge of the hole...so it's not really a hole, per se, but where the peg goes through. i added another pic too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bassius Posted March 8, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 8, 2010 YES!!!Give me a really good deal. I desperately need some new tuning machines. They're solid brass. New they were 289 I'll give them to you for $150 call me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slapthefunkyfour Posted March 8, 2010 Members Share Posted March 8, 2010 They're solid brass. New they were 289I'll give them to you for $150call me My current tuners are solid cheap chrome plated crap metal. $150 is $50 more than my entire bass cost. Good tuners would sure be nice though. I'm gonna have to play a couple shows first. My wife set a rule that I cannot buy any musical gear unless it is paid for with gig money. i just found a new band that is booked one weekend a month in Wendover, and one weekend a month at the Outlaw, so it shouldn't take too long.

I'm sure i'll still have them. Mine were solid crap metal too, when i got the brass ones my pizz sustain went longer and the gear ratio made it way easier to tune up. i'll hang on to them for you if you're serious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jazz Ad Posted March 8, 2010 Members Share Posted March 8, 2010 It looks worse than a C extension. I didn't think it was possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Renfield Posted March 9, 2010 Members Share Posted March 9, 2010 The ebony pays homage to pre 18th century bass tuners...NEXT WEEK C extension! Does the C extension lend itself to pre 18th century basses too? :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
