Tuning Machines.

Sperzel tuners are pretty good but when it comes to Bass tuners I have found Gotoh to be extremely good quality for the price... For Guitars Gotoh lockers are brilliant, not had a single one come back to me with unstable tuning issues.

Remember, brand names sell gear, but that does not necessarily make them the best.. People rave about hip sh#t gear but I have found it to be very poorly made from mystery metal, very expensive mystery metal and as for customer service? Non existant..

I forked out over 500 US for a headless system only to discover it was made very cheaply.
On the very first tune up the G tuner stripped.. Five weeks later I got a replacement along with a rather rude note handwritten in RED ink... Needless to say I not only spat the dummy out I also chucked all my toys out of the cot...

Wish I still had a copy of the email I sent in response, not only did I tell them to stick their bad products and service in a rather rude place, I also told them to go to hell and gave them detailed instructions on how to get there... Funny thing, I never did get a reply.....

I just wish Steinberger would come up with straight pull tuners for Bass..............

Geez, that sounds a bit like the experience I had with the Headless Guitar kit I got from that Irish company I ordered the kit online from, I wasn't too impressed with the quality of the bridge hardware (it was branded Overlord Of Music), I seem to remember one of the tuners on the bridge feeling like the threads had stripped a bit, since a genuine Steinberger R-Trem bridge was going to cost me $250.00 (about the same price as the kit), I decided to abandon finishing the kit, I don't think I got my money's worth when I bought the kit and I think $50.00 would have been a more realistic price for it.

What I think these cheap versions of Steinberger hardware do is tarnish the reputation of Steinberger products.

Lol....I was wondering where it came from, I've still got a long way to go till I get to 2000 posts, I see that I've only made 83 posts (including this one)so far.
