V900 Machines
These slim, elegant individual Wilkinson® WJB150 bass tuners are designed to offer maximum tuning efficiency whilst their conspicuous lack of overall unit weight prevents a ‘neck heavy’ feel to modern, lighter weight instruments. The sealed gear casings also prevent dust and grime from interfering with the tuners’ smooth and accurate internal gear operation. |
