You need Mustang bass tuners,which are unique in the family of Fender basses. because they have a shorter stem than a standard bass tuner.

You may be able to substitute some Schallers with a shorter stem but the tiners that come with a Mustang bass should not be changed if they are still working in any way.

Here's an Ebay listing for an unmolested '76 Mustang Bass which should correlate directly to your '77 issue......

http://cgi.ebay.com/Fender-Mustang-Bass ... 564303c9b4

The machines appear to be Fender-stamped Schallers, with shamrock-shaped keys, short stems, and trapezoid base plates. Vintage-spec tuners like these were nickel-plated.
