I lost another one. This is about the 10th tuner I've forgotten on a gig. I used to buy Boss TU-12's. Now I buy Korg CA-30's. |

Hmm. that N-tune looks interesting, wonder when the active version is coming out.

Now he will feel the pain!
MWAHAHAHA!  |

Endorsing: Ampeg | | Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Apopka, FL | | | I guess it would be harder to lose a rack tuner or one built into your bass. I can't stand the idea of paying that much for a tuner when the $20 one will work just fine, though. Back when I bought TU-12's, they were about the only ones that worked worth a crap. Now even the cheap ones work great. |

Each string has its own, tuned, tuning fork! You can even get active versions so that you can switch tunings using the built in memory!
No more lost tuners! Unless, of course, you lose your headstock  |

Try it.
Tune your bass perfectly....lean it out at 45 degrees and see if it's the same.
