A Bit Short of What I Expected

Yes, it's a pun. The power supply worked perfectly with my 535Q that I ordered. Unfortunately, it's only like 4-5 feet long, which wasn't enough to get from my power supply to the floor. I ended up returning and getting a pedalboard power supply (the One Spot) instead.

CruzTOOLS GTBAS1 GrooveTech Bass Player Tech Kit vs. Dunlop String Winder

CruzTOOLS GTBAS1 GrooveTech Bass Player Tech Kit

CruzTOOLS GTBAS1 GrooveTech Bass Player Tech Kit

Have tool kit; will travel. Guitar and bass players may know a little about truss rods and action, but few actually attempt adjustment. That’s a shame, because a substantial upgrade in your performance can be realized with a properly set up axe. Both GrooveTech kits provide everything you need to work on your guitar or bass, and an Easy Setup Guide is included that takes the mystery out of it. Tools are professional grade and lifetime guaranteed.

While similar in design and content, each kit is optimized for either a guitar or bass. Both include a precision 6-in-1 screwdriver that contains two each Phillips and slotted tips, and two nut drivers (1/4 and 5/16 -inch to handle Gibson and other truss rod nuts). Also included is a 3 LED flashlight, steel ruler, string cutters, 15-blade thickness gauge, and capo. The GTBK1 bass kit has 8 hex keys. Hex keys are color coded gold for metric and black for inch sizes, and long pattern for easy access. Truss rod sizes have a ball-end.

Both pouches contain a compartment behind the tools to store the Easy Setup Guide, your owner’s manual, and a spare set of strings. Also included is a pocket to store your picks (picks not provided). With GrooveTech kits, you now have the tools and knowledge to easily set up your guitar or bass, and keep it that way.

Pass

It's built tough enough but not a great winder overall. Screw for the handle always backs out and it doesnt fit the fatter button tuning knobs like Grovers. You can cram it on there but either it's gonna fall off or the screw is goung to back out.

Player from Lutz, FL (Aug 13, 2006)
Hmmm. A little glue should fix this.

This winder doesn't really have a turbo. It DOES have a screw that comes out as you wind machine heads. It's just a bigger, beefier version of the cheaper dollar winders that work. I think I made a mistake here.
