So I just put together a baritone, and still would like to experiment with using weird/LOW tunings, but I wondered if any of you know where to get tuners that will fit bass-sized (.75-.95, probably) strings. I guess I could look for bass tuners, but unless I'm being ignorant (likely....) it seems that I've only ever seen bass tuners with smaller shafts than guitar tuners.... The ones I would be after will have to fit pretty standard-sized tuner-holes.
I know some of you have done this.....come holler at me! Thanks

Re: Tuners for big ass strings?
For my bassVi's stupid-huge strings I salvaged two crappy bass tuners and slapped them on the headstock, but I've also had success with drilling ever-so-slightly larger holes in normal guitar tuners. Depends on how thick the metal is on the sides.
Any bass tuner should definitely work, if you go that route

Check out the Grover 102 series:

I have them on my Bass VI. The low E is a 90 and it's got some room to spare.

Re: Tuners for big ass strings?
I use Wilkinson EZ-Locks from GFS, really good tuners. What I do is I unravel a bit of the winding from the heaviest strings, just enough to thread them through the post holes, and that's it.
