I was looking at the PBG neck info here to find out the machine head hole size http://www.pitbullguitars.com/shop/guitar-body-blanks/pbg-bn4r-maple-neck-wmaple-fretboard-for-jb-and-pb-style-kits/ and noticed that the hole size is quoted as being 10mm. This also goes for all the other bass necks.

I think the info on the page is wrong as 10mm is a guitar-sized tuner hole. The two standard imperial bass neck hole sizes seem to be 9/16"(14.3mm) or 11/16" (17.3mm), which translate to the common metric hole sizes of 14mm and 18mm.

I suggest the hole size is checked and the info on those pages updates to suit.

Also, there is no info on the hole size required for the BPG bass tuners listed in the spare parts section. It would be very useful for people to have this info as well. They look like the type of smaller tuner that uses a 14mm hole, so wouldn't be suitable for bass neck with 18mm holes.
