Hey....does anybody have a line on where to buy spare TUNER ferrules? I'm missing one on that Lyle bass, and so far I've spent more than a half-hour searching the web with no luck. I've only found two or three places that carry any ferrules for use on bass tuners, and they are all for Fenders...not the right size.
The ferrules on the headstock of this bass have an inside diameter of .397 inches (about 9.93 mm) where the tuner post goes through, and the shoulder that presses lightly into the headstock is .469 (11.9 mm) outside diameter. They seem to be larger than most ferrules. The ferrules are smooth on the outside shoulder, but I sure wouldn't turn down ones with serrations on the shoulders either.
Any ideas??
Later note....after another half-hour searching, I found that Allparts.com has both "bushings" and tuners at an affordable price, including tuners similar to the ones on the Lyle...but they don't provide any dimensions. I emailed them for info. Other ideas still welcome!
This set looks pretty similar to the tuners on there, and is only $25.
