So I kinda bought a lefty 2018 Thunderbird in Ebony. Arriving this week. I love the black hardware on my 2013 bursts, but for the black one I want nickel hardware. Putting in Thunderbuckers, too. The only thing I'm not sure about is the tuners. Most of the ones I like aren't available in nickel for some reason. It seems the only two potential drop-ins available in nickel are Hipshot Ultralites or Schaller M4 90. Anyone know others I'm missing?
The Hipshots are pretty expensive, and the Schallers I'm hesitant about because I really don't like the feel of the M4S I have on my BC Rich. And they only seem to be available directly from Schaller, so shipping from Germany could take quite a while.
Thanks.
I put ultralites on all my Gibson basses, just can't go back now! There are probably other good tuners, but they are definitely good quality👍
Thanks. That's what I ended up ordering. At least I know they're good and Hipshot stands behind their product.
They are also good for playing heavy metal.
Light tuners, heavy metal.
