Thanks guys.

Hardware question: Will these tuners work on the JB-4 headstock without modification to the holes being required?

Hi Cade,
I've just gone through the same process with a PBG 5 string P bass I'm building. The holes in the headstock for the clover-leaf style tuners were 19mm diameter, but the body of the Gotoh style tuners (non-PBG) that I got as replacements is only 15mm wide, so they don't fit neatly. I only discovered the problem after the replacement tuners arrived ...
I decided to fill the existing holes with dowel and re-drill, which also gave me the opportunity to relocate the tuners.
There's probably many better ways of doing this job ... but I'm pretty happy with the outcome.
