i love the location of the tuning pegs. i’d look into something similar but i think i need the extra room for leverage with the bass.

This is my first headless guitar and the more cramped tuners are definitely something I’ll have to get used to

do you need a tuning key or do you cover your fingers with superglue first?

Looks like there’s this kind of thing for some guitars, but other ones don’t have the grooves on the pegs for that.

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.
