I don't own a pair of calipers, tuner size needed for replacements?

Thanks in advance!

So, it looks like all of the BaCHbirds sold to folks here are trans red except for one honeyburst.
Rob, do you have any idea how many BaCH made or have a breakdown of numbers per color/# of pups? It would be interesting to know...

I put the standard Fender style reverse tuners on mine.  I used the Bach ferrules and had to make some dimples on back of the headstock so the tuners would sit flush.  I used the Bach screws too and even though they are a tight fit they look very nice on the bass.

So if they're standard Fender size, that would make them 11/16ths size holes, correct?

Something like this should work then:

Those should work on the Bachbirds.

I just took a photo of my Bach next to my L2 and it is amazing how huge the T-Bird basses are compared to the tiny boat oar!

Invariably, the hole will be a metric size, so watch out for the slight difference...

I ordered my Bachbird one week ago and I had not a reply from them with payment instructions. I send an email to solicitate but no reply. Is it normal?

While I thanked Rob via email for his great work regarding my second BaCH, I'm happy to post up here about the ease and simplicity of the transaction - Simply put, if you need something from BaCH buy it thru Rob  :thumbsup:

I agree it couldn't have been smoother. The bass took three days to get to me from the Netherlands. That's nuts! It would have taken longer coming from New Jersey and I live in New York.
