FenderPure Vintage 70s Bass Tuning Machines

These are Fender, but not vintage style at all. I own a 1974 Jazz Bass, and it's all OEM, (nothing replaced). As mentioned by another customer, these are chrome and not nickel plated as are the ones on my Jazz Bass. I am swapping out the fretted neck for a fretless one, so I needed new tuners, (so I can swap necks back and forth without having to replace hardware). Though these new tuners are chrome and not necessarily built like the originals, but they are of very good quality. And I can also confirm that the holes, (.0680 OEM holes) on my 1974 Jazz Bass neck are smaller than what these newer model tuners are made for. All an all, great quality. Just incorrectly described. They are not vintage style at all.

I purchased these to replace the tuners on my Fender Marcus Miller Jazz Bass. The mounting holes didn't line up with those from the original tuners so I had to drill new ones but these tuners completely hid the old holes. These tuners are a huge upgrade from the original.

These turners add the retro look that I'm wanting. I'm building a hybrid retro Fender P bass. Combining the classic and retro look with a nasty Geezer Butler growl.

The tuning machines are a bit larger than the tuning machines on my Fender Precision and the my friend's Fender Kingman. I was able to repair the Kingman which was my goal. I had to drill a couple of new holes for the screws to attach the tuning machine to the head stock. The bushing did fit correctly and the hardware is well made. I was able to repair the Kingman and my friend was happy to be playing again. I hope this review is helpful to others.

I purchased these Fender tuners as an upgrade to replace the Squier tuners on my CV 70's Jazz Bass. Wow, what a difference all around! These keep my bass in tune beautifully! I highly recommend these.

Yes.. it will work on a Jazz Bass Yes you will have to Modify.. These are not just drop in..Because the hole is too small.. I use a thin rubber gasket around the base.. Works perfect.. if you don't know this trick you do now.. You can also be cheap and use some tape..

Very fast service, price is so good. It is cheaper than Sweetwater and Fender.com

Very good looking. And very functional.

One of the gears warped on one of the factory machine heads on my Squier 70's Modified Jazz Bass. I had a pretty hard time finding replacements that would fit that didn't seem like cheap garbage. Even these don't exactly line up, I had to drill new holes for 2 of the holes on each machine head; however, it seemed that was the only option besides cheaping out and risking the same issue. I am very happy with this upgrade, you definitely get what you pay for. They are so smooth, tuning with them takes seconds, they also seem to hold their tune really well.

These tuning machines are great and are my favourite on the fender precision basses. But, It may be hard to see, these two tuning machines are different in how they are plated. These fender tuning machines are chrome plated. The Hipshot Xtender and my Japanese style tuning machines are nickel plated. You can see this in the colour. Nickel is more of a yellow where the chrome is a lot more bright. If you are looking to have a vintage look, look elsewhere for tuning machines. I’m giving this product three stars because it’s sold not as advertised. But my personal experience with these that are on my other basses get a 5 star.

Screw heads are really easy to strip.
