100% respect, brother. Tough to admit any error. Much less publicly. Takes a huge man to do so, by his own choice. You are a legend.

Absolutely loved the complete string of clips. Right up my alley, you could say. I've been in the thought process (is it possible to put it that way..?) of building my own bass and these clips guide me through the entire process. Never thought of having tuning screws at the "other end" though. But why not? But I think I'll keep the head stock anyway for aesthetic purposes. And I love the tone throughout your videos. Cheers Kuno, Sweden

Had a similar dilemma when building my 5 string. Wasn't happy with the headstock, functional but a bit ugly. Nearly turned it into a headless but decided to stick with original design. Works superbly so thanks for all your tutorials/advice. Cheers, Hywel.

Good recovery. I think both Scott (Bonehead) and me have fallen foul of those terrible tuners. The replacement look well beefier though! When I approach something similar again I'm going to use the bridges from Nova Guitar Parts in Brazil. Probably about £160 for a 5 string bass, so would be factored in price, but worth the piece of mind.

Definitely. These were just under £70 for the 5

I have the same tuners on my 7 string multisclae guitar in which i believe those are actually designed not on a bass. Had the same intonation sliding issue and there's also some movement on the tuning screws which affects the tuning of those things pretty much.

If I had a custom bass made I would ensure it had quality hardware from either Shaller, Gotoh or Hipshot. Sure my Ibanez EHB hade a great propiertary bridge, but it wasn't custom made. I really like your bass videos.

Not every custom has to be at huge cost. We tried the cheaper option because it actually fit better with the original design. But everything is fixable/changeable 👍

I haz the sads. You can get individual string locking nuts or fairly easily fabricate them, it would have looked so much better; they could have gone directly over the old holes.

Guyker parts are high quality and very affordable. Their locking tuners are very popular. There's speculation that they are made by the same OEM factory in Korea that used to make Gotoh parts.

Unfortunately it’s already back in the hands of a happy owner. I suspect the dimensions will be on the purchase page somewhere. I tend to work on having the piece in my hand and working with that rather than numbers 👍
