Hipshot BT3 Bass Xtender, Nickel

Do you love the sound of your vintage Fender bass but wish it had more low range? Well, wish no more! A long time open secret among the world’s best bass players, the Hipshot Xtender gives you the best parts of a 5 string bass in a 4 string package. With the flip of a lever, drop your E string to D (or even B) and back again! The BT3 is a direct replacement for pre-CBS Fender basses equipped with Kluson reverse wind tuning machines. This tuner is also featured on countless reissue models and custom builds.

• Drop a Major 2nd (E-D) and if your strings have standard thickness cores, you can go as low as a 4th (E-B)
• DoubleStop feature gives you a tuning position between the high and low for a total of three tunings on your 4th string
• Precision Laser cut and machined construction with no casting or stamping
• 27:1 tuning ratio
• Fits 11/16″ [17.5mm] headstock holes
• Adjustable tension nylon bearing system
• Stainless steel key prevents tarnishing and rust where you touch the tuner the most
