5-String Bass Tuner

Try this: I haven't found a tuner that performed badly with the low B.
Has anybody found one?
Otherwise, I float the theory that any decent tuner will work for guitars or basses (4 or 5 string).
Just to get you going....;)

You apparently haven't used the TU-12 I mentioned in the first post. Doesn't register a low B. You can certainly go out and buy one to test your theory for yourself though =P

TU-12 will not register a low B. TU-15 (more expensive) will.

The tuner on the Bass POD XT Live will not read a low B. You have to use the harmonic.
