GotohCompact Bass Tuner Chrome (2 per side)

Very well made and hold tune as good or better than any I've had.

Really fast shipping, quality tuners. Gotoh uses substantially better design tolerances than much of the competition, in my opinion. I have used just about every tuning machine on the market over the years, and I like the Gotoh better than most. The washers are substantial, not flimsy, paper-thin. The shafts for the bass tuners require slightly smaller holes drilled into the bass headpiece (a good thing) , yet they appear to be more sturdy than other tuners I've used. Very smooth, low gear lash and a nice finish. Schaller probably still has the nicest finished tuning machines, but not by much. Gotoh 's pricing is very fair for the exceptional quality product they ship.

I can always rely on Gotoh quality, it's a no brainer to use these tuners!

Installed these on a Yamaha TRBX174EW. Not exactly a Fender Custom Shop and nowhere near the price either.The Yamaha tuners aren't great and it's pretty obvious this is one area where Yamaha saved money.Unlike the original tuners these have screw collars that firmly clamp the tuners to the head, which helps stabilize them. The small screws on the back of the head then just prevent turning further. Kind of belt and braces.Be aware that the screw collars are 14 mm diameter and the original holes in the head are 13.8 mm diameter. You can either open up the holes a little with a 14 mm drill, sandpaper, or do as I did and push them in with a G-clamp. They'll be a tight fit.Also be aware the original tuner mounting screw holes will be visible. You can leave them or fill them with toothpicks or wood filler. Your choice.

I recently bought an Epiphone Embassy that I love, but the stock tuners were pretty sloppy. These Gotoh minis had a lot of positive reviews and are in my price range. They fit snugly on my Embassy, and feel much more solid and look beefy! They hold tune, absolutely no slop and operate smoothly. I like the shape of the peg. The finish is a bright chrome, a bit brighter than the nickel hardware on my bass, but it’s hardly noticeable. They definitely improve the overall quality of my bass. You can spend more money if you want, but why?

I ordered these to replace Grover mini tuners that came with my Dean Edge Fretless 4-String Bass. The OEM tuners (NOT the ones I'm reviewing) were of low quality and one of the tuning pegs snapped clean off the gear, which is why I bought these.These Gotoh tuning machines arrived promptly in what looks like their original box, wrapped neatly in cardboard padding and placed into a slightly larger box by the seller. They were in flawless condition and were a perfect match for my bass (even the screw holes lined up).The tuners are of much higher quality than the originals; the original tuning pegs were about 1/4" in diameter and made of some cheap metal, whereas the peg portion of the Gotoh replacements are almost twice as thick and appear to be solid milled metal. (The tuners still fit in the original holes though--the OEM tuners just seemed to waste a lot of space and had a weirdly narrow tuning peg.) The tuners make no noise and turn easily.Overall, an excellent investment for a bass that comes with cheap tuners.

Per the Q&A section:Question: How "compact" are these compared to standard sized tuners? Are they really smaller?Answer: Half the size and weight of a p bass.Reality: These are the exact same size as the tuners on every bass I already own.

Fit perfecty. Super easy instalation
