Hipshot

[CloZer]

Good or bad for my bass in value terms?

I wanted one to speed up transitions on stage between songs where i sometimes change tuning.

I guess its too late now, but does anyone know if this will be harmful to the guitars value.

Does any1 else use one?

my ugly mug too...

As long as you keep the original tuner it shouldn't affect it since you can always take it off and reinstall the old one.

Can someone explain to me what a hipshot is please?

Thanks

That's when you shoot from the hip rather than bringing the pistol up to line up with yer eye..

Hey Ed...

Here's a better view:

A non-original tuner is added to the E string....by flipping the lever you get a lower range on the E.

does it allow u to change the note by just pressing the lever? like tune from e to d quikcly by jus pressing it?

 

[CloZer]

Thats exactly what it does, i change tuning from E to D during our set so instead of farting about for a few secs tuning out loud its just a simple click of the lever.

Luckily, I don't have to worry about that since I play a 5 string. I almost fee sorry for you guys without that B... Almost... BWA HAHA!

Do it!! I've got one on my Sterling and love it. They're right, just save the old tuner. You don't have to do any drilling or anything.
