HB7 Bass Tuning Machine (Sold Individually)

Stop fighting slipping tuners and start locking in the pocket. The HB7 replaces sloppy stock tuners with high-precision, tour-ready stability. Spend less time tuning and more time playing—your pitch will be locked in before your guitarist even touches their pedalboard.

Part of the Hipshot American Classics Series, the HB7 is the premium drop-in upgrade for modern Fender-style basses. Engineered as a direct replacement for Fender® Highway One and Made in Mexico (MIM) tuning machines, this footprint is found across a wide range of models from Vintage Modified Squier® models to Fender USA and Custom Shop Jazz and Precision basses. The HB7 is also the go-to choice for luthiers who demand uncompromising reliability.

Classic Style, Precision Engineered

We’ve captured the timeless open-gear tuner style and supercharged it with a precise 27:1 gear ratio. This gives you the micro-adjustment necessary to dial in dead-on tuning accuracy. From late-night practice to sweating it out on stage, the HB7 lets you forget about your hardware and lets you get locked into the groove.

  • Drop-in replacement: Direct replacement design for a seamless upgrade without unnecessary modification.
  • Crafted to Last: Precision laser cut and machined stainless steel construction with no cheap casting or stamping.
  • Precision Performance 27:1 gear ratio for incredibly fine tuning adjustments and superior stability.
  • Customizable Feel: Adjustable tension nylon bearing system allows you to dial in the perfect feel while tuning up or down.
  • Quality Materials: The stainless steel key prevents tarnishing and rust where you touch the tuner the most, keeping your hardware looking and performing at its peak.
  • Universal Compatibility Reversible shaft design allows you to easily convert a tuning machine to treble or bass side headstocks.
  • Premium Finishes: Available in black, nickel, and gold to match your instrument's hardware.
  • Key Style Options: Available in classic clover leaf or lollipop key style.
  • Sold Individually: To easily accommodate 5-string (or more) players, each tuner is sold individually.
  • Mounting hardware included.

    • Clover vs Lollipop

    While mostly known for the clover key shape, for a brief period in the mid to late 1960s Fender used the lollipop key shape, perhaps to sweeten the tone.

    Will It Fit My Bass?

    Designed to replace the original Schaller BMF footprint, if your bass has 11/16" peghead holes and the same mounting pattern, the HB2 will fit. Still not sure? Check out our full scale comparison chart above with your bass to ensure a seamless fit.
