Modded my AL

[candid_x]

would something like this fit ?
Schaller Replacement Tuner Knobs at Stewart-MacDonald

Almost positive the small ones would fit.

 

[Spudmurphy]

Yeah I think you are right Candid - I know that Bovine the Lord Bongo doesn't like us to talk about non EB products but I feel sure that EB doesn't supply them? If they do
maybe Jongtarz or Beth could let us know?

If I have stepped over the line then please delete.

 

[candid_x]

Spud, Schaller is Schaller. Why would anyone at EB object to replacing a Schaller part? My guess is that EB would be happy to sell a new set of tuners, but I sorta doubt they'd even carry just the buttons.

I guess the message in Bovine's quote... ...

"Just a reminder.

This is not the Aftermarket Manufacturers Forum. If the main thrust of a thread is replacement parts (none OEM) for Music Man basses, I'm no longer going to discuss whether or not it's appropriate.

It's not."
hasn't been transgressed and i haven't treaded on any toes.
I'm just too polite!!

 

[NorM]

that looks cool Pete!

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Now thats cool. Pete hows the sound difference between the vintage and the solid steel. The vintage ones seem to dig into my picking hand a bit. But they sound really good.

I would say that some of the high tones are not as present with the solid saddles, but it was more of a comfort thing for me - I cut the ball of my hand on the vintage saddle screws one time too many, and I like the solid saddle feel.

See I like the Chrome tuners personally. Pete what type of solid saddles did you use?
Glenn |B)

EB solid saddles. The pearloid tuners match the PG now, and give a bit more accent to the headstock - Of course the only thing better would be if the headstock were matching, but we all know how you feel about that

how nice is that neck?

It sucks, not enough birdseye.

great job, the tuners look great. do the new saddles change the tone much?

Thanks! See above

I always loved the pearl tuning keys on EBMM guitars just like my Pets....Does anyone know if we can just order these through customer service?

That's where mine came from - but I ordered the whole locking tuner assembly.

I only used replacement parts directly obtained from EBMM - plus, this isn't a bass

 

[Music Man]

That is too cool, I just ordered last week wome pearl buttons for the tunning keys on my 20th.

Looks good pete!

These absolutely fit. I've replaced the chrome tuners w/ these on both my Axis Sport & Sil Special.

 

[Danserrano]

very nice bro, i've never noticed this but do all al's have birdseye on the front of the neck as clear as petes?

 

[robelinda2]

luck of the draw with birdseye, but a lot of AL's sure have heaps!

 

[Meedleyx10]

nevermind the mods you did........the headstock/fretboard is the most beatiful I have ever seen

 

[banjoplayer]

It sucks, not enough birdseye.

But the headstock is A beauty!

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Banjo,
That was a joke... a while back there was a nasty thread about someone who felt that their AL didn't have enough birdseye.

 

[Katana6506]

Super-classy.

that was a crazy thread, what a dork!

 

[banjoplayer]

ok, ok I didn´t get.
Thanks for your kind words.

 

[Jason5150]

(In a low baritone voice)......bloody beauuutiful.

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Maybe I'll put up a good shot of the neck later tonight... depends on how long it takes me to wash my car after work
