D-Tuner on Reflex or 25th?

[Disco Batman]

Has anyone tried to use a D-Tuner on a 25th or Reflex? Just wondering if it works ok considering the piece of metal the strings go under (don't know the technical term).

I think the D-tuna will only work with a Floyd Rose tremolo.

I'm talking about one of these guys here.

I would never put one those things on my 25th.

That's good.


The question still stands.

Sure, I dont think the string retainer will interfere with the dtuner. I'd want one if I played fourbangers much.

Strummer has hit on the true solution: a 5 string bass! Genius!

FTR, I think a D tuner will work with the string retainer, which only applies slight downward force.

There is no reason not to put a D-Tuner on a 4stringer. You don`t have to drill any extra holes and you can put back the original tuner anytime you want. The string retainer has no (or almost none) effect on the downtuning as long as you avoid any dramatic angles
