I looked it up and the banjo tuners I was thinking of are called Scruggs or Keith tuners, and you can set a second interval with them kind of like a pedal steel. They cover it on here at around 6:10 if the YouTube link doesn t automatically direct you there. The sound is a little synthesized with all of his pedals but the way he is able to switch tubings is pretty amazing.I think Clarence White had a couple on his famous telecaster.

Those banjo tuners also do something similar, don t they?Politely, I think you might be barking up the wrong tree.Look into the Hipshot Trilogy.

I have one on one of my basses, I can report that once you get it dialed in it does work as advertised.Dropping all the strings would probably result in enough change in tension on the neck that things might get hinky. Not sure, just speculating.

Anyone know if there's a drop tuner that'll cleanly will replace a Schaller M4S tuner on a TB2000?

I have no experience with the guitar ones.llllllllllllllllllllllll wrote:Those banjo tuners also do something similar, don t they?Nope, they just allow tuning from a different angle. Like a Firebird. Unless there is some specially banjo style tuner I'm unaware of. There are those Firebird replacement ones that have a knurled knob instead of a traditional key, but they work the same way...
