I really am just looking for the the tuners
Before doing anything else, contact EBMM customer service. I found they've relaxed their policy on hardware swapping a bit. Not sure if it's for every single model, but if you give them you serial number, they can tell you for
sure. You'll have to turn in your current hardware, and buy the new stuff, but it's cheaper and easier than buying a donor bass, like you had to in the past.
Thanks does that mean I would need to return my parts first. Before they would ship out what I wanted. If so what is there thinking on this policy
As stated previously in the thread, those are original Musicman branded parts. They do not sell them to the general public, and that is part of preserving their brand name value. This prevents people from using their hardware to make counterfeits. They want to minimize the possibility of a non-EBMM instrument having EBMM hardware.
So, you would need to "trade in" your chrome hardware for black hardware, you need to send it back first.
Thank you very helpful. It makes sense now.
