They look right on a reissue and hang off the end of anything built in the last thirty years, adding weight where a bass least needs it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe P2681 is the compact answer. Same enclosed housing and clean chrome look, but a smaller footprint and a 3\/8 inch post that matches what modern electric basses are drilled for. The closed gearbox keeps dust and sweat out of the worm, which is the part that goes gritty first on an open tuner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll four are the same handedness, which is what an in line headstock needs.

These take a 3\/8 inch post, which is standard on modern basses. Vintage and vintage reissue basses often use a larger post and a bigger mounting footprint, and this set will not fill those holes. If you are unsure, call 844-687-4208 before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose Covered Over Open Gear?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe enclosed housing keeps dust, sweat and grit out of the worm gear, so the tuner stays smooth for longer with no maintenance.
