RATIOĀ® patented gear technology
RATIOĀ® - Calibrated Machine Heads incorporate different string gauges into the tuning equation.

From Low E to G - 36:1, 30:1, 20:1, 18:1.

We balanced the gear ratios to each string simplifying the tuning process.

With RATIOĀ®, a half-turn is a semi-tone!

Every string reacts the same to any tuning adjustment. Predictable, precise tuning, on every string.Ā

    As a retired Engineer turned musician, I will never touch another Bass without them. From an engoneering point of view, they make perfect sense, and with the heavy Bass strings, they turn tuning from 'close is OK' to 'E'!
