Super lightweight bass machine heads.
Bass guitars have weighty machine heads and by their very nature have always suffered from neck-dive. With the advent of 5 and 6 string basses, this tendency became still more acute, making long sessions uncomfortable for the musician. The RES-O-LITE series was developed to solve this problem. By chiefly using the special alloy duralumin, excellent weight savings are achieved. By use of the Rock-Solid mechanism the GB350 transmits string movement more powerfully, whilst retaining tuning and giving a smooth winding experience.

Bass side and treble side are references to the orientation of the tuner. More specifically the side of the headstock the tuning machine should be mounted on. A bass side tuning machine has the tuning shaft protruding from the right side of the tuner and a treble side tuner has the shaft protruding from the left side.
For example, a right handed jazz bass would have all tuners on the bass side. A reverse headstock or left handed jazz bass would have all treble side tuners.
