I just bought a hipshot detuner for use on my Les Paul bass. The model was the GB7, which is made to match grover tuners. Everything lines up, but the post is about a quarter inch too short. Bummer! It works, but its a little funky. The post wobbles a bit, and I think the string windings might be catching because of it.
Has anyone successfully put a hipshot on their LP? If so, was there a trick or did you use a different model? Should I just call it a wash and use my tuner?
Thanks,

I can see the problem with using mahogany which is soft. The constant use would loosen the screws i would assume
