I absolutley love my CA-30, though it is not as easy as having a pedal tuner on your board all the time.

Back when I was in music school the Korg CA-30 was pretty much the gold standard of the cheap pocket tuners.

Since I use good cables, none has gone lost or broken!

Try it.
Tune your bass perfectly....lean it out at 45 degrees and see if it's the same.
Yes, the weight of the strings will throw it marginally off tuning.....for those of us who don't play upside down, it is no problem.

I've never lost a tuner...maybe I'm eurotic, but it gets into my case along with my ax, strap and main cable. My main one is a Korg with a analog meter that is over 20 years old. That one's at my practice place; however, I just bought a Korg GA-30 for $12 online that is pretty sweet. I looked at the TC Electronic RH450 bass sytem site - nice having a tuner in the amp, but I still am going to have to step over and mute the amp if I want to tune silently? Uh, I'll keep on with the $20 tuners with Jimmie. LOL

I also use a a $20 Korg tuner.....with my Fender Bass and Peavey 215 stack, it seems outta place. But, a tuner just tunes notes. As long as it works, I'm ok with it.
