This is a picture of the peg head. Does anyone have or know of a de-tuner (make and model) that will fit without any drilling? I know they are currently Schallers.

Maybe you can send your tuner to hipshot for a conversion, I think they do custom jobs. Or maybe you can drill a hole in the mounting plate of the "new style" type, mine is in the practice room now (will check later this week if the extra hole option is possible) stout71 Intermediate Member Username: stout71 Post Number: 135 Registered: 7-2011 Posted on Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - 7:51 am:    Drilling should be pretty easy with the right bit, as long as there's enough access to do it, and you have a vice. slawie Senior Member Username: slawie Post Number: 520 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - 3:05 pm:    Thanks Jerry and Flip. I would like to avoid drilling the headstock. I do have a vice (several actually)however it would not assist in this exercise;) slawie stout71 Intermediate Member Username: stout71 Post Number: 136 Registered: 7-2011 Posted on Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - 3:28 pm:    I was thinking of drilling the mounting plate on the d-tuner, not the bass, and then lining up the holes. musashi Intermediate Member Username: musashi Post Number: 187 Registered: 5-2004 Posted on Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - 11:23 pm:    Call Mike Lull in Bellevue, WA. slawie Senior Member Username: slawie Post Number: 521 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - 3:54 am:    Thanks Musashi I have sent an email. I probably would have called if WA was Western Australia ;) slawie slawie Senior Member Username: slawie Post Number: 522 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - 3:26 pm:    I received an email this morning from tech support at Hipshot who are pretty keen in getting pictures of what I require. That's pretty rapid service! slawie
