Ultralights

Hipshot Ultralight Tuning Machines are a high quality lightweight alternative to the Vintage Style tuners available for any bass with a 9/16" or 11/16" headstock hole. Two different size options exist: 3/8" for 9/16" headstock holes, and 1/2" for 11/16" headstock holes. These are available in more key styles including Clover Key, Y-Key, and Lollypop key with finishes including Satin Chrome, Shiny Chrome, Black, and Gold. With the smaller mounting footprint, the weight savings of the Ulralights is almost half of what the Vintage style tuners weigh and will assist in saving the weight on your instrument, and add efficiency and better balance to the instrument.
