At 3AM I decided to install a set of Hipshot Ultralite tuners on my Jazz Bass

And I can't get used to the look of the headstock from the back.

This is what happens when I can't sleep.

Yes, but who cares what the back of the headstock looks, you know?

How's it stay in tune?

That does look shitty, but I could use those on my squier.

They are actually really nice tuners. Much better than the 20 year old stock set that rattled.

I don't think they look bad at all.
They look like you "Give a shit" and wanted it to stay in tune because the old tuners were worn out and rattled!




I have a buddy who plays through an old Fender Jazz bass.
It's an original (I don't remember what year, but it is OLD) and he is a REAL jazz guy (you know...has an album out and stuff), and his guitar is so fucking beat up with screw holes, etc.....

It's a badge of honor.

It looks fine to me.

It looks better than you think PK. I think it will just take a little time to get used to seeing it.
