#1156 - 01/08/10 09:53 AM Accurate bass tuner?
Dave Molter addict Registered: 11/25/09 Posts: 691 Loc: Pittsburgh, PA	I play mostly 5-string basses, and I have atuner that doesn't do a very good job on the low B. This isn't a terrible disadvantage because I can always tune the B using harmonics from the E, but I thought I'd ask what tuners other fivers are using. I used to have a Boss tuner that worked great, using colored LEDs, but it broke and they no longer make that model. Any recommendations?

I was recommended a Sabine tuner, and it worked (and still works) fantastically for me. It's been about 4 years now that I've had it, and it's never off or twitchy. I hope to have it for another twenty years at least. _________________________ Music Gear Review - Keyboard/MIDI and Songwriting Editor/Mod "I don't like it, and I'm sorry I ever had anything to do with it." - Erwin Schrodinger, on Quantum Physics Keys: Nord Stage 88, Nord Lead 2, Yamaha W7 Upton Bass Custom Upright, BSX Allegro EUB, '80s Peavey T-40, MIM Active Jazz Bass, Godin BG-5, Fender Bassman 100, `68 Fender Bassman 50 head, Gallien-Krueger Fusion 550, SWR (pre-Fender) Goliath III 4x10, Markbass 2x10 Traveler
