I have some concerns regarding the Fender Custom Shop using post-1976 Schaller chrome tuners on their 1970 Jazz Bass LTD. For the sake of authenticity, installing in-house nickel tuners that are post "paddle" & pre-Schaller would be more accurate. At the NAMM show Fender had a candy apple red fretless JB from the '68-'73 era that had these 1976 chrome Schallers. This is not era-correct. If Fender can nail, with awesome accuracy, the 1966 Jazz Bass Closet Classic LTD why can't they get the tuners correct on these JB's from 1968 to 1975? Gotoh makes these nickel tuners and all Fender has to do is stamp the Fender logo on the back.
I love the Jazz Bass and I just want it to be 100% correct all the way around. If I'm going to pay $3,200 for a Custom Shop JB from that era I'd be pretty bummed if it had those post 1976 chrome Schallers.
