Post subject: Looking for tuners for Jazz Bass Special / Lyte bass

Hi, I recently got a Japanese made (1988-89) Jazz Bass Special, which appears to be similar to the "Lyte" series in design. It needs the small-ish tuners, not the traditional Fender style.

My bass is just the neck and body at this point, so I'm going to need parts such as tuners, bridge and pickups/electronics. Right now, the only thing I can't seem to find is the original Gotoh tuners for this model. The GB7 Gotohs don't fit and of course the traditional size won't either. I'm kind of at a loss at where to get these. The other thing I was thinking of doing was maybe routing the holes to accomodate GB7s. I'd rather not mess with the actual structure of the neck, though.

Any ideas where to get some tuners to fit this bass? Thanks!

Hello and thanks for the reply. The tuners I'm looking for are smaller than the ones you posted. Here is an auction photo of a Fender Lyte bass. The tuners appear to be Gotoh:

Thanks for any help!
