Graph Tech's calibrated & synchronized tuning system makes tuning and re-tuning your bass faster and more intuitive. Tuning on the fly has never be easier!. Each string position has it's own calibrated gear rRATIO® patented gear technology.RATIO® - Calibrated Machine Heads incorporate different string gauges into the tuning equation.From Low B to G - 48:1, 36:1, 30:1, 20:1, 18:1.We balanced the gear ratios to each string simplifying the tuning process.With RATIO®, a half-turn is a semi-tone!Every string reacts the same to any tuning adjustment. Predictable, precise tuning, on every string.The PRB-5320 is a right-handed set of RATIO® Calibrated Machine Heads for BASS that use a 3 x 2 configuration.In order to achieve higher gear ratios, Ratio are the world's first machine heads using a double envelope gear design with a hardened steel gear. Amazingly smooth and super strong.atio, so every string feels and reacts the same to any tuning adjustment.One full rotation of any key results in a one full tone pitch change (give or take). From Low B to G, the gear ratio's are 48:1, 36:1, 30:1, 20:1, and 18:1. In order to achieve the higher gear ratio's,
