Hipshot GB7 Bass Extender Key Gotoh Chrome

Love this tuner. Easy to install and adjust. Works perfectly. Saves a lot of time dropping to D during shows. Allows me to use a 4 string bass for songs that would require a 5 before.

I have purchased a couple of these Hipshot Extenders now. These fit directly onto my Schecter Omen Extreme and my Ibanez MiKro short scale bass. I had a guitar shop install the first one, but it really is super easy to install it yourself, as I did with on the MiKro.I use this in conjunction with the Digitech drop tuner pedal for rapid tuning changes between songs on Rocksmith 2014. It works flawlessly. I plan on adding a Hipshot Extender to almost everything I play.Because of how much I like this device, they’ve seriously got me looking at their bridges and locking tuning machines as well. Great company with cool products!

This was so easy to install and tune and made with quality materials. This is a game-changer and a must have.

Work as intended and are quality

A lot of songs can really benefit by using drop D tuning, Sometimes the whole songs, sometimes a chorus or a bridge or just for the final note after the drummer plays a big fill.This product makes it easy to go from E to D with the flip of a switch.This version fit my 1980's Aria Pro II bass just like the original with no modifications. I have a few others that fit my P-Bass and Jazz bass just as well. I use it so often that as a preforming musician all of my basses have one.Would have given it 5 stars, but the finish on this one was slightly pitted. (all 4 of my others were perfect and would get 5 stars)Highly recommended.

Probably best out there!

I used this for a 2002 Spector Euro4 LX bass. It fit perfectly with no holes needed to be drilled. I use this bass for Eflat tuning (half step down), and added it to the E string, which drops it to C sharp.It matches the other Gotoh tuners perfectly, and performs as it should with no issues at all.I only gave it 3 stars for "easy to install", however this is not a fault with the item, its just a little tricky removing the old tuner and adding this. If youre not comfortable working on your guitar, get a luthier (you dont want to strip out screw holes or crack/scratch your finish).Amazon pricing was fantastic, and I saved about $50 dollars versus buying directly or at a music store.

The tuner’s threads look stripped and the ferrule didn’t seem to hold tightly like other Hipshot detuners that I have purchased. I also noticed that the tuner’s backplate seemed to be pre-lubricated with some sort of Vaseline type product. I’ve applied lubricant to other Hipshots (per enclosed instructions), but I have never seen one with lubricant applied to a new item. This, IMO, is a used, non-functioning tuner. There are a couple of other reviews showing this type of tuner with rusty threads and some show the chrome peeling off. This is the first negative experience I’ve ever had with a Hipshot product. Just buy the full priced Hipshots from a reputable dealer.
