Drop D on a lever? Hipshot Bass Xtender
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 09. 2019
- Today we're looking at a way to set up your bass or guitar (there are versions for both) so that you can change from standard tuning to Drop D in the flick of a single switch - not using any electronic trickery, but using a replacement tuning machine head from Hipshot.
BT7 for Mexican Fender:- amzn.to/2ZzQ17s
BT2 for US Fender (as in the video) amzn.to/2ZATuCy
GT2 Electric Guitar - amzn.to/2LhRPN8

"Pull the lever, Adam! Wrong lever!" - but seriously, I've always wondered how those are supposed to work. Truly smart design. Not that I'd need it, but if I ever need something like that it's a good thing to have. Thanks for the explanation and demo
Awesome video! I liked how you went from the installation, although I would have like to see a bit about the tuning itself.
Thanks for this mate, I had just installed mine without restringing and thought something was wrong. I had also thought of putting 4 of them on mine but I don't believe the levers would have any room to engage. Cheers!
woww that Jazz is PHAT
Hi Mate,
Someone knows if that extender it is works about a Mustang bass (Fender short scale)??
I use this to drop my B string to A. Works perfectly
What strings are you using on your bass?
Is it possible to install multiple on a bass as I wanna be able to quickly drop the whole bass into Eb tuning
The lever on my Hipshot can swivel all the way down until it points at the floor when set in drop tuning, so it is completely out of the way - is the one you installed not able to do that? Or do you just prefer to have it sitting more upright when detuned (for quicker changes)? Mine is an older version from the late 80s (based on a Schaller M4S/Grover Titan-style tuning machine), so I wasn't sure if this was something Hipshot had changed on the newer models.
Someone told me going drop d alot on a bass will damage the neck. Is this true?
Get the optional replacement
So what if you had all drop d tuners?
Another application case is if you are just too lazy to turn the tuning key a couple times. Thats why Ive looked at them lol
Certainly he didn't see the advantages of this. Just one name. Micheal Manring
This guy talk too too much, omg
