Hey gang,
As I'm currently ensconced in plugging the holes of the Gloria headstock (see my build thread for progress) I was canvassing opinions on perhaps replacing the PBG machine heads (standard F-style cloverleafs) with a lighter alternative.
The reduced headstock and after-market high mass bridge are designed to give more sustain and overall "ping" to the bass, so adding heavy machine heads at the other end seems a little counter-intuitive. Anyone had noteworthy experience here- good and/or bad?
