Adds an Extra Dimension to Your Bass
The Hipshot D-Tuner is admittedly expensive, but is a precision piece of engineering.
I need to play notes below low-E for a number of different genres, but could never get the hang of a five-string bass. This device suits my purposes perfectly. It comes with clear, concise instructions and is easy to fit.
In use, it is simply a case of flipping the lever to drop the fourth string to D. Its operation is accurate and stable.
I found it so useful that I bought another for my fretless bass. This has the added advantage of facilitating parallel octaves across the second and fourth strings.
Recommended.

nice gadget
installed on my fender player precision 4 string i modify for fun it was easy to install and is a nice addon to fast switch to dropped d tuning. keep in mind that it will also have an effect on the strings (slightly detuned) other than the e string, because it lowers the tension of said string. but the same would happen if you would tune your e string to d only and not retune the others string afterwards. if you are ok with this and are willing to pay this price, you get a nice quality gadget to play around and have fun with.

does what it says it does
this was easy to install and works well (i was low key surprised that it actually worked). i was also surprised that it holds the tuning pretty well on the dropped note (i even replaced strings and after tuning them the dropped note was in tune)

Excellent as everyone says
Got this Hipshot BT-7D for a MIM J-bass from 2001, fits perfectly. This upgrade will simplify your life, no more drop-d tuning!

Does exactly what you'd expect it to do. Clear install instructions.
This is NOT a drop in replacement for the sire v7!

Great
I love my 4 string Precision but sometimes need that low D. This is perfect for that. Build is sturdy works per and the tuner head looks exactly as the stock Fender ones. Recommended!
