Trying to locate the best option to replace my current 2006 MIM Precision bass tuners. Any suggestions? It's unable to stay in tune for more than one song, and that is the only problem I'm having with my newly acquired 60th anniversary bass...MIM! Thanks...

Sorry, it wasn't purchased new, but it was recently purchased used. No warranty that I know of, and the tuners seem to be in okay shape although I had to bend one back into place. I figured an upgrade in this area would help the bass stay in tune better.

MY MIM G string machine head had a similar problem...all i did was tighten the phillips/crosshead screw at the rear as it was loose and that sorted it, i think the general hardware fitted to Mex Guitars are of a very good quality, but there could be other reasons ie cheapo strings, neck flexing, sudden changes of ambient temprature and dropping it on the floor !...well you state that one of the keys was bent...P

I went with Schaller lightweight tuners. I like it on my MIM. All others have whatever Fender put on at the factory.
