I also understand that the TU3 has tuning modes where it changes its calibration so that you can drop or raise your tuning while still thinking in E. |

| | | | Boss TU-3 calibration
The TU-3 is reading two or three cents too high. Can't find anything on their website for calibration. Anyone? (kind of a bump) |

| | | | Peterson strobe tuner as well as an iphone app for the TC Electronics Polytune as well as a Korg DT-10. |

| | | | Yes, I like the chromatic mode as well. I will. Or, I may take it back to where I bought it less than a month ago. Thank you again! |

| | | | Also, so as not to discourage anyone from buying a TU-3, the Peterson is a PITA and the Korg is slower. I played with the new Korg Pitchblack Poly and it is VERY difficult to see in the sun and the display is annoying to me. |

| | | | I WISH! Very interesting you'd ask! I'm from the Tennessee Valley (north Alabama) but am in the Seattle, Washington area for work. Hate it here, miss there! Bellevue American Music is in Bellevue, Washington. They are awesome folks. Reese (owner), Jim (mangager), Johnny (guitar and bass guru - of Culprit and Stonebender fame), Nick (lighting), Phil (keyboards), and on and on are all really great people that know their stuff. I swore off GC and the like a while ago. I'd rather pay a few more bucks and deal with good people that know their stuff than save a buck and be given a sales pitch from someone that doesn't know the difference in bass strings and guitar strings. They're just strings for a guitar, right? No, friend, they aren't.... |

It bothers me when the salemen dont know the products they are pushing. Like when you say,
" Im looking for really Bright strings"
Salesman " Have you tried the Boomers?"
Me " I mean bright, like Hi beams bright, like Blue steels bright"
Salesman " Oh, than you want these" points to Boomers again
Me " um.... Dude, don't talk to me anymore" and walks off | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
