Hipshot Vintage Style Bass Detuner
Hipshot Vintage Style Bass Detuners
Instant, No Drill Installation Since the days of Beethoven, "E" string devices have been used to extend the range of the upright string bass offering the instrument greater versatility.
Bass Extender Key brings this proven versatility to the modern electric bass! With a quick flick of the handy thumb lever, the HIPSHOT Bass Extender Key instantly expands your range without leaving position. Tunable to any note from "E" to low "C"
These detuners match the popular vintage style tuning machines including HB1, HB2, HB3, HB4, HB7, HB8, and HB10. Available in Chrome, Black, and Gold and also with optional Double Stop Lever these detuners make a perfect match for your Hipshot Vintage Style Tuning Machine equipped Bass.
These Detuners like the Hipshot Vintage Style Tuning Machines require an 11/16" headstock hole. If your bass is equipped with a 9/16" headstock hole we suggest using Hipshot Ultralight Tuning Machines and Detuners.
