What tuners for Aerodyne Precision Bass?

Hi everyone.

I've recently been sent (it's still in transit), a lovely Fender Aerodyne Precision neck. While I'll have no issues with my project, I've read that not all machine heads will do the job on this beauty.

I've come across information that says that the Gotoh GB10 is designed for this (as well as the Hipshot equivalent, which is the HB10), INCLUDING on the Hipshot website. But a vendor told me that they won't work.

Can anyone guide me as to what I should get? The vendor says that I should measure the screw markings and then decide. The problem is that I live in India and between postal services and customs each package takes about two months. I don't want to have to wait 4 months before I can use the bass. Anyone with experience on this front could help greatly.

Thanks in advance. Attaching headstock pictures as reference! Both of what it looks like with tuners and without.

You should measure the holes twice and then pick something that fits - no big deal to drill new holes for the screws, but you want to ensure the tuner fits the holes with stock bushings or new bushings or with no bushings if that is a thing.

With some measurements, you will know more than a vendor saying what does or does not work
