Just for the fun of it I bought a set of locking tuners for a MM Guitar. Since all of my guitars have either Locking tuners or Lock nuts I decided to try them on the Silo Bass (tuned E to E) I had to bore out the holes slightly for the Low E and A strings but other than that they went right on and work great. I think it made a nice touch. Thanks for letting me share.

Wow! I never in a million years woulda thought the holes could even be MADE big enough.
 
I used to have some locking tuners on an old Carvin 6-string bass. They didn't work very well for me. The ones on your Silo look like the construction is much better than the ones from the Carvin. Let me know how they work out for you......:)
