OT: What type of tuner do you use?

[TSanders]

Well, what is it?

 

[skabassist13]

Tuner, what's that? I hardly ever use mine because my stuff stays in my room and they never really go out of tune, but when I do use one I use a Korg GA-30.

 

[adouglas]

I use Schaller BM tuners. Chrome ones. Five of 'em, one for each string.




My tuner is the one built into my BassPODxt, which serves as my preamp. Darned good tuner, actually...not jumpy.

Boss TU-12H

probably going to get a peterson strobostomp thingy-mu-jig when I join a band.

 

[Motojunkie]

I voted other.

At home and for setting intonation I use a Peterson VS-II. You really want the best accuracy for intonation, and the VS-II offers the same accuracy to a real strobe tuner.

In my rack I have an old Sabine RT-1600 which seems to do just fine. IMO, if I get the intonation right then just about any tuner will give me acceptable results.

If you're looking for a great tuner for intonation and at the gig, I suggest you buy a Peterson Strobostomp. If they were out when I bought mine I would have bought one of them instead of the VS-II. FYI - VBTC carries them.

I have a Korg rackmount tuner. Its pretty cool, works great, but my Sterling never falls out of tune so I really only use it when I change strings.

 

[smallequestrian]

Even though its a pedal, I voted other, because the Peterson Strobostomp is not like your average Boss. Strobostomp for life!

I voted pedal since I have the average Boss TU-2.

 

[shamus63]

I just tune by ear.

 

[Dr Stankface]

Boss TU-2.

No other tuners need apply.

 

[bassmonkeee]

I didn't vote.

For home, I use a Peterson VS-II like Motojunkie. The best tuner I've ever used. Period. It makes setting intonation a breeze.

For gigs, I use a Boss TU-15. I have a small strip of velcro on my Walkabout Scout and a small piece on the Boss, and it works great. Quick, accurate gig tuning. The precision of the VS-II isn't needed for gigging, and I don't have to worry about ever leaving my tuner at home--it lives in the gigbag.

 

[Hutton]

Boss TU-2 and Boss TU-12H.

 

[JB1]

I tune from the guitarist once he's tuned via a Boss multipedal thingumyjig.

Using harmonics.

 

[midopa]

At home, the Peterson Strobostomp. Whenever I'm playing out, I use whatever is available.

 

[maddog]

... and Boss TU-12H.

we are brothers in tuners.

 

[Hutton]

we are brothers in tuners.

Hey Tom - I always suspected that we were related. You must have some Scottish ancestry!

 

[phatduckk]

i have a $10 korg tuner i use.

its cheap, it works

 

[Randracula]

Korg DTR1 Rack tuner. Had it for 5 years and hasn't let me down yet....

 

[Figjam]

Right now I use the Boss tu-2 but when I get my new amp (gk fusion?) I will get a rackmount and the Korg DTR-2

 

[bass&cookies]

a little cheap one.
i rarely need it though. musicman quality++
