"I encourage all bassists to use hip shot D-Tuner.   Gives you a truly remarkable tonal extension, mechanically perfect.  Earnings for (those) who need the low notes without the requirement of a 5-string bass and for people using the drop tuning. Hipshot Thanks,  thanks for existing" www.dinofiorenza.com

Alberto Rigoni proudly uses Hipshot products! "I can't live without my bass extender! From E to D, from B to A in less than a second, that's amazing!"     http://www.albertorigoni.net

I have used Hipshot bass extenders for years on every bass I have owned. It is an amazing piece of gear that every musician should use. I love that I am able to accurately drop E flat, D, or C tuning with the flip of a switch....sometimes in the middle of a song. Thank you Hipshot for making such a great product. I would recommend anyone and everyone to use a Hipshot extender for guitar or bass as it will make you a better player. -Hector Maldonado (TRAIN, Into The Presence)

"The biggest concern with any guitar I have built is the comfortability and tone that comes from the bridges I have put on them. I have Hipshot Hardtails on all of my guitars, from 6 to 7 to 8 strings. Nothing plays, sounds, and feels better than my Hipshot bridges!" http://www.chrisletchford.com http://www.scalethesummit.com

"I have been using Hipshot Bass Xtenders ever since I started playing bass.  I love them and swear by them.  They are ingenious inventions, and a crucial piece of equipment for me.  There truly is nothing worse then having to stop mid set to re tune or even switch instruments mid set for tuning, the Hipshot Xtenders let the set continue on without interruptions."   More about Piston Driven here: http://www.myspace.com/pistondriven

I have been using Hipshot tuners since 1986. Every bass I have ever owned, gets Hipshot tuners on it. I have vintage basses that I swap the vintage keys for Hipshot tuners. And the D-tuner? I have never done a gig without one. Hipshot for life! www.thebedlam.net

"I use Hipshot Bass Extenders on all of my basses and it's a real treat arguing  with the five-stringers that I don't NEED no stinking five-string bass.  What's even more fun is the tremolo bridge - the fans love the whammy bass!  Hipshot hardware is simply the best and undeniably the coolest!"

  Of the 17 basses I currently own and play, 15 of them have Hipshot Bass Xtender keys fitted! The only two basses that aren't fitted have a "3D" headstock design that makes it impossible to install.......such a shame. Whether it is fitted on my low E or B string, the Hipshot Bass Xtender tuning machines always operate smoothly without a hitch. I can count on it to get me a step or two down and back every time! http://www.survivormusic.com/
