Bullwinkle: how to install it?

Post by Jupiter »

Just received two of these from wiguitar...honestly I don't understand how it should be installed...I guess the last 4 tuners should slide in the respective slots but they just don't. So, I guess there is a trick? Is there a bloody video for this?

I don't want to force anything...

I believe you have a bass guitar bullwinkle. In principle, the way you’re trying to install it is correct.

Oh, FFS, he made a bloody mistake then!!! Shite, I made a request to send them back and get a refund...waited for 1.5 month to get them...

I sent him a message a few hours ago but I don't expect much...

On the upside, it seems like some slight filing to widen the E, A, and possibly D tuner cutouts for clearance will get you the rest of the way there. I think a common emery board could do it cheaply.
