Locking tuners are definitely worth it if you're looking for a way to keep your guitar in tune. They're easy to install and make a big difference in how well your guitar stays in tune. I highly recommend them if you're serious about playing guitar.
Yes, you can tune a bass like a guitar. The main difference is that the bass has a lower range of pitches. The standard guitar tuning is EADGBE, while the standard bass tuning is EADG.
Locking tuners are a great option for bass guitars, as they keep your strings in tune and make changing them a breeze. Many bassists prefer locking tuners for the peace of mind they provide, knowing that their strings will stay in place no matter how hard they play. There are a few different types of locking tuners on the market, so be sure to do your research to find the set that’s right for your bass and playing style.
There are a few ways you can remember the order of the notes on a guitar. One way is to remember the acronym "EGBDF." This stands for E (the lowest note), G, B, D, and F (the highest note). Another way is to remember the phrase "Every Good Boy Does Fine." This phrase can help you remember the notes E, G, B, D, and F. You can also try thinking of the phrase "Eddie Ate Beans Daily For Energy." This can help you remember the notes E, A, B, D,

I purchased these to swap out the tuners on my Squier Bronco Bass. Compared to my original Squiers, this set rotates really smoothly and keeps tune considerably better. They are a great improvement, and they are also incredibly cheap ($23.17). Not included in the set are screws, ferrules, or bushings; only TUNERS.Fit: Be aware that you might need to enlarge the headstock holes when installing these on Squier basses. Some squiers are noticeably smaller than the peg size of these tuners, which will fit Fender MIM precession and jazz basses without a problem.There is no reason to purchase generic when something like this is available, and these original Fender bass tuners are Fender quality and reasonably priced.

I adore the concept of being able to switch to a drop D tuning by simply pulling a lever. It's a truly amazing invention. The main point of this is to be able to change tunings instantly at any moment, but it doesn't always work out perfectly, so I generally have to check and modify with a tuner.Keep in mind that it is close and most likely close enough that nobody would notice when the band is performing. But having to check with the tuner kind much defeats the whole point of doing this.The fact that I had to check with the tuner kind of defeats the whole point of this, even if I used the manufacturer's website to make sure I acquired the appropriate one for my instrument, in this case a Thunderbird Apple phon.It was intended to be a direct drop-in replacement for the stock tuning devices, so I made sure I acquired the proper one for my instrument, in this case an Epiphone T-Bird Pro, by contacting the manufacturer through their website. Again, it was pretty close, but not exactly. I did need to slightly enlarge the tuning peg hole on the neck headstock. This has never happened before, their extremely helpful response came when I called their customer care and explained that it was not a direct drop-in replacement.I installed it without too much difficulty; all I had to do was use a drill to slightly enlarge the hole. It amuses me that they explicitly declare in their instructions that if the hipshot does not function, your instrument's nut must not be of high enough quality. The fact that they provide a ready defense amuses me.It functions, but it's not quite accurate enough for me.

Although they are what they are, they function. To make the bushing slide in and hold firm, wrap some blue painters tape around it. The string barrel is hollow, so if you're looking for something solid with a string hole, these aren't it. Nevertheless, they were only $12 and were excellent for my needs.

These tuners were purchased to match a neck that I also got from the same seller. They are excellent tuners. Yes, you need to add bushings, and there are a couple different ways to do it. DON'T BRUSH THESE IN! Doing this results in BAD things. Don't install them in this manner, then. A wise person will first examine the bushing in the hole. I had to slightly ream the holes on this installation before testing the fit. Just attempt to squeak in the bushing's very tip. The enjoyable part is now. By simply tightening it all up, you can use a bolt with two flat washers and a nut to install the bushing. This will apply consistent pressure all the way around. To prevent damaging the wood, place some tape over the bushing and the back of the head stock. Once the bushing is in place, do this and then release the nut to take the bolt out of the hole. Mark the four screw holes and insert one of the tuners making sure it is lined up as if it were already fitted. Apply this to every tuner. Next, drill pilot holes for each of the four screws and for each tuner's whole array of screw holes. After that, attach the tuners to the head stock using screws. Install the tuners one at a time, taking your time. Before doing all of this, I hope you took the tape off. Once those bad boys are mounted, lubricate the worm gear with some white lithium oil (it doesn't take much) and turn the keys a few times to make sure they are well-lubricated. A very small amount will do. You are then prepared to tune up, play, and string up your bass. These tuners are excellent and very functional.

I had some reservations regarding these tuners because of the HORRIBLE packing! For crying out loud, I receive nicer packed goods from China. There isn't even a box. Dear Sellers, appearance matters a lot. Just keep that in mind. As for the tuners' performance, it was exactly what I was hoping for and did not fall short of my expectations. I purchased them for a 5-string bass, and installation was as simple as plugging them in. If you are a perfectionist, these may not be for you. If all you want to do is replace broken tuners for replacement's sake, these will work fine. They came in a plastic bag with each tuner individually wrapped in plastic in a big envelope, so don't expect any beautiful boxes to open with a lovely little instruction booklet inside. Oh well, it's not like you can use the packaging on your bass guitar, right? Although I did enjoy unboxing my Planet Waves auto Trim tuners more, you should still give them a try.

While under stress, tuning posts sway slightly yet maintain tune even with flatwound strings. The finish is flawless and brilliant. Having spare parts on hand is useful for repairs or replacements. Be aware that since these tuners are metric and somewhat larger than 1/2", you will need to slightly enlarge any 1/2 inch holes that are already drilled in your headstock. Simple to complete with a file or reamer.

The fact that these machine heads are direct fits makes me extremely happy. Installed directly from the bag into a cheap bass I bought for my brother. The bass now maintains its tuning nicely, and the replacement machine head was a direct fit for the originals with no adjustments required.The smoothness of operation has improved after multiple tuning, detuning, and retuning cycles on one of the machine heads that had some friction or gritty operation. Although it isn't flawless, it maintains tune and performs well, and the other 3 work without any problems.These are considerably superior to the factory-installed, low-quality machine heads that came with the bass, but they are NOT premium machine heads. They are a good substitute for the price.If I were in a panic and looking for a cheap replacement, these would be a direct fit replacement for my Ibanez machine heads, and I would not have much concerns regarding function.

These bass tuners are rather decent. They are black, like I requested. Although the finish is not the best, it's acceptable! The holes don't line up exactly, but they are close enough to allow you to finagle the screws in if you start them all before tightening, which was the only little issue. To correctly seat the front bushing, I also needed to tap out the front holes. once more, a little issue You ask, "Why put up with the minor problems?" due to the excellent price! Low-cost remodeling that calls for imagination! I like a challenge!
It's actually quite easy to tune a bass without a tuner. The first thing you need to do is find a reference note. This can be done by playing the fifth fret of the low E string on your bass and then tuning the A string to that note. Once the A string is in tune, you can then tune the D string to the A string. Finally, tune the G string to the D string.
Bass guitars typically have four strings, which limits the number of notes that can be played. However, some bass guitars have five or even six strings, which allows for a greater range of notes.
Bass strings should be tight enough that they don't buzz when you play, but not so tight that they're difficult to press down. You may need to adjust the tension a few times before you find the perfect balance.
A bass can be tuned in fifths, but it is not the only way to tune a bass. There are many different ways to tune a bass, and the best way to find out what works best for you is to experiment with different tunings.
In general, bass is considered easier than guitar. This is because the bass has fewer strings, and the frets are usually spaced further apart. This makes it easier to form chords and melodies on the bass. Additionally, the bass often provides the foundation for the rhythm section in a band, so it is not as reliant on other instruments to provide a solid groove.
The 5 string bass is tuned to the following notes: B0, E1, A1, D2, and G2.
