I have a distortion, a limiter enhancer, a phaser and I'm getting a flanger and overdrive in the mail pretty soon. If I sell my Xbox, I hope to get $150. Should I get a wah pedal or a chromatic tuner? |

|  | Yeah, I've got the moves like Jagger. | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: G.R. MI | | | I have a tape measure that does a pretty good job at doubling as a yo-yo. I can ealk the dog for days!
OP, get the tuner. Get a Sonic Research Turbo Tuner to be exact. You won't be disappointed!

All properly functioning tuners at any price are more accurate than your bass itself.
Go for one you can SEE, that won't break and doesn't interfere with your signal. All else is commentary.

You can pick up a Boss TU-2 used on the cheap. Still works fine as a tuner, just an older model with less bells and whistles.
The mute switch function on a tuner is also amazingly useful.

I have a Korg- relatively cheap, true bypass, mutes when engaged. Boss TU's have the ability to split signal, though, if that's something you're interested in. |
