Alternatively, you can go to www.activebass.com and click the pitchfork icon in the lower left corner and that will pop up a window where you can play the E, A, D & G notes.
I'm sure if you do a google search you can find other tuning programs as well. |

Its in the bottom left among other tools such as the Metronome, and tune to the notes they have, E A D G, you should hear when the note is exactly the same as the note coming through your speakers.

| | | Electric tuner isn't that expensive, you should invest in one. Otherwise you can use the tuner on http://www.tunemybass.com/ |

I've actually got them built into most of my instruments, which allows you to talk to the audience between songs and tune at the same time. |
