Tuning down 2 whole steps...

Sign in to disble this ad
Im trying to tune my 5 string down to have a low G (G-B-G-C-F from low to high actually)

only problem is my tuners wont pick do it! I used the tuner on my bass pod pro rackmount, and my korg. Guess it's just too slow of a frequency for it to pick up? I even tried to get it at tunemybass.com, only goes down 1 whole step on the low B.

Anyone have any suggestions?
