#1156 - 01/08/10 09:53 AM Accurate bass tuner?
Laklander enthusiast Registered: 11/25/09 Posts: 343 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?

ShackMan enthusiast Registered: 03/14/09 Posts: 335 Loc: Pittsburgh Area	I had that exact problem for a while with my Godin. 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. _________________________ I love science, and it pains me to think that so many are terrified of the subject or feel that choosing it means you cannot also choose compassion, or the arts, or be awed by nature.
