Gotoh GB7 versus GB707
I notice that some Smith basses come with the GB7 tuning
machines and the newer ones have the GB707. Any difference other than the shape of the key? Just curious. |
differences..

I was informed by Japan that they would stop making the GB7's but with my left over inventory in 3 colors of left and right side gears. the offered to make for me what ever I needed to even up my inventory into even-matched sets for our basses. Then, the next order was all the new style gears. The handle is different and the shaft is slightly different. I am not aware of any of the internal workings being different inside. A few years ago, again I was told the newer model gears (707's? .. I am not actually aware of the model names anymore) would be discontinued as well and I would have to pick something else for the catalog for my gears. Shortly after I was informed that if I bought them 1,000 gears at a time as opposed to the 400 gears I was previously required to buy (to have them customized with the Smith Logo), I could keep that style and they would make them custom for me. So, the current Gears we have are made to order when we need them. |
Hey Ken, thanks for the reply. Interesting read as always.
