Tuners

Post by Trifarce »

So I'm in the market for a good bass tuner, there any out there that can get down to A standard? Or at least C? I've been using an iPhone tuner app and it can't even pick up my bass that low :lol:

I have had no problems tuning my B string with my Peterson StroboFlip, or even my $10 Korg tuner.

Easiest thing to do is go into a store, bring your bass, and try them out. Pick the one you like best.

And as much as I know that some pedals are much more accurate than others, it's ultimately all relative anyway. If you tune to your tuner and your guitarist tunes to theirs, there's the chance that you both will be out of tune from each other, which to me is more important.

If you want cheap go for the GFS Tuner.

If you want accurate for Sonic Research Turbo Tuner.

If you want to know what string is out of tune faster get the PolyTune.

The GFS and PolyTune are both accurate within 0.1 cent and the Turbo Tuner are accurate within 0.02 cents.

The Sonic Research is the best I’ve used.
