I hate to just spray oil up in there. You get a bunch of oil in on things where you don't want oil. I've found on this (and other musical/mechanical instruments I've worked on, like pedal steel) that just a light Q-tip's worth of white lithium grease or even 3 in 1 oil does a good job and lasts a long time. For this bass, somebody also mentioned placing nylon washers between the tuner knob itself and the tuner/bridge assembly, so I've purchased some of those. It doesn't look like there are any washers in there now. I hope to have this bass up and running well this week. Thank you again for your help.
Jim, where did you order the nylon washers? Would you please provide a link? I wonder if I could use teflon washers like other manufacturers use in their headless bridges, and where would I get them? I think I need washers because if I haven't tuned my bass for a few days, the tuners are hard to turn, and "pops" when making the first adjustment. Like you, I didn't want to just spray lube in the bridge and make a mess. If you could give me some guidance since you have already done it, I would appreciate that very much!
