Sign in to disble this ad
So I got a fender floor tuner for christmas. Its model number is pt-100. Its more or less all the functions of the boss.
The reason I post is because of the b string. I strike it with any other tuner and I have that lag on the tuner. You know: wait for the tuner to pick up the B string after you hit it. Some other tuners I used needed 5+ secconds before it registered the B.
I just wanted to spread the word that this tuner will register a low B string as soon as you strike the string. Its pretty awesome. And this all for 50 bux.
I have never seen a tuner react that quickly to a low b.

This is not intended to be a shameless advertisement. Fender has enough of that already.

I'm still running an old Peterson Strobo', and I really should upgrade. It's beginning to rattle a little now - I'll bet these Strobos are pretty expensive to get repaired now-days.
I should probably save it for drum tuning while it still works. There's nothing like a strobo for drums! (I don't play drums, but maybe I could get my drummer to start tuning his set someday soon.)

I just assumed it was another worthless to Bass player's tuner only made with guitars in mind, maybe I should try another one.

My local G***** Center is selling the Korg GA-30 tuners for $14.99. It's made for g***** or bass and goes down to low B. I noticed no lag and got it out the door for $10. Accuracy is advertized as +/- 1 cent.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Lancaster, OH | | | I have a Korg DTR-1000 rackmount tuner, and it had a hard time tracking a low A when I first bought it. Last night, it was tracking low E (an octave below a four string's lowest string) and F when I was re-tuning to G# (when I was intonating my bass to G#). I was amazed and very happy, to say the least. |

| | I call shotgun! | | Join Date: Jul 2003 Location: Columbia MD USA | | | I bought a Sabine RT7000 that arrived Thursday at my door at 3:00pm.
At 4:00pm it was back in the box to be shipped back. I tried to like it because I hate returning things. First off, it didn't seem to read any note right away and had big problems with the B string. It was also difficult for me to read the display. It was big enough but no matter what note was displayed the light seemed to shine through the segments that where supposed to be dark. If I closed one eye and squinted the other, I could make it out OK. I just couldn't imagine going through that hassle on stage. Also the A/B switching didn't work like I thought it would. I guess that's my fault for not fully understanding the function of the two inputs.
Anyway the tuner built into my Boss ME50B works much better so I will just use that for now.

Joe | Are you serious? Upgrade to what? Is there a better tuner than a Peterson Strobo? I love my Virtual Strobos (V1 & Stomp). Maybe you should try one of them.... No problem with the B string tracking!!!!!!
