You can’t really get your fingers “around” the peg so you kind of just “roll” them along it. I’m not sure if they even make tuning keys for this style of bridge
yeah, that’s what i was thinking of. I can’t think you could get the leverage to tune a bass without one of those keys. I’ve seen keyless pegs on headed basses, but i’ve never seen pegs on the other end like this so i just assumed they came with a key
I mean, when I first got my bass, I took it to a repair shop and asked them to make the nut lower because the strings were way too high for my feeble forearm muscles. So I guess most bassists have good finger grip.
