I believe there was a Spoiler that this had this done that showed up a few years back. The tuner was in the same place, if I recall |

This my bass, the mod is authentic. I've added a note on the listing about this and a picture of the original work order. |

I remember seeing a drawing around here for this before. This won't work on a Spoiler cone peghead, but if the Spoiler had a Crown peghead then it will work. |
