Rplacement tuners for Vintera Jazz Bass

Hi guys

 I have a Vintera 60s Jazz Bass - like it a lot but it's my heaviest bass and I'm a wimp. I'm also not hugely taken with reverse tuners. Makes my head hurt! 

Therefore half thinking about replacing the tuners with something lighter. 

 I like the vintage look, and I like vintage style tuning posts, so the Gotoh res-o-lite models appeal but I have no idea how to work out if they will fit the neck, or which of the various res-o-lite models to go for. 

 I really don't want to have to modify the neck in anyway, I want a 100% reversible mod. 

 Can anyone offer advise on direct, lightweight replacements?

    Gotoh GB640 would be the ones you need for that bass (not GBR640 those are reverse tuning).

    Do you know if they fit without modification? I have no idea how to tell of the screws etc are in the same places!

    Another vote for GB640-L-N.
    You say, atom bomb. I say, tin of corned beef.

    Aren't the L ones left handed?

    I took L to signify four in line. 

    The handing is easily reversible.
