Don't know if 'basses' is the right forum, anyways - a little heads up on this little fellah, I just bought it and it works like a charm. I'm used to Korgs in different versions with cable connection - very convenient from time to time to just snap this guy on the headstock. Seems to handle the E quite well, very intuitive to use. And cheap!!

I’ve been using that Snark for a few weeks now, and I like it.

They're stupid cheap and extremely accurate.
That said, he's had some clip breakage issues, but at the price, they're really, really hard to beat.

Tracks fast and accurately from low B on the bass up to high E on my electric guitars. I'm impressed! |

However the very 1st. thing i worried about when my friend hooked it up un my bass was the clip,it looks a little weak.

It works great for home practice. It gets a little funny at loud live gigs. Then again that group tunes down a 1/2 step. |

I found them on Amazon for about $13 so I picked up two for myself. I've tried them on my 5-strings and they seem to work well, even on the B.
Seemed like I had little to lose at that price and I was pleasantly surprised. It's a cool little gadget.

Tracks the low E on my bass without any problems whatsover. Word of mouth in the local area says it'll cope with the low B on a 5er just fine. No real need to get the more expensive one with the built in mic IMHO, unless you want to tune some sort of wind instrument. Anything with strings, it'll pick up the vibration directly from the body of the instrument
BTW if the funky color doesn't do it for you, get Musician's Friend to price match the Amazon price - they have 'em in black and will apply that price match to that color Quote:

Recently saw it linked on another website. But I can't seem to find reviews or even anywhere to buy it |

Tues as quickly and accurately on my bass as it does on my classical acoustic as it does on my ukulele.
Done with pedals, done with the little Korg plastic rectangle, done. |
