Heavy zinc bass tuners add unnecessary weight to your headstock, straining your neck and shoulder.  It also restricts your left hand to holding up an unbalanced instrument, robbing you of the necessary freedom of motion so essential to a natural, relaxed playing technique.

 Don’t carry the weight of the world on your shoulders!  Hipshot’s Ultralight Bass Tuning Machines are made of durable, precision machined aircraft-quality aluminum to lighten your load, and give you the correct instrument balance without sacrificing tuning accuracy or durability.
