Hello,

The tuners on my made in japan P51 reissue work.. but they are not very smooth or precise and I'd like to replace them by a better option.

Any idea for a plug and play replacement ?

Thanks in advance

Are you sure the nut slot are ok ? If the are not tuner will not do the job.

New tuners ; you may have to take your own measurements. Easy.

Thanks a lot,
Even Fender has such tuners.
In fact my question was more, are these tuners (Fender, Shaller..) better than the default japanese ones ?
Mine do work, I simply want to replace them by better tuner, but they aren't defective

I'm very surprise to read your tuner do not work.
What about the nut ? Did you check it ?

Is bass is under warranty ? I don't know this bass, is it old ?

If it works, I won't touch it.

As I wrote, some work on nut string slots may help.

That's tough question, lstelie. Fender has 1970's reissue machine heads they say are made on the original equipment that should retrofit '60s & '50s too. I see you are in France. Is there any chance there is luthier or electric instrument technician that would know or have an old vintage machine head just laying around for you to compare? You would have to change your name to 'Lucky' if it were to pop right in without any fitment issues or modifications required. Good Luck 'Lucky'!
