Basses with d-tuner.

[spade2you]

It's generally a mod ($70-100 depending on where you get them) that a 'production' maker is not going to do as all it does it add cost to the bass and as it is a relatively simple thing to do aftermarket if you can use a screwdriver.

THIS is why.

Very few basses have these off the rack because it's an absolute cake walk to install them.

Beyond the basses already mentioned, the upgraded Peavey Millennium 4 Plus and 4 Plus BN had this as a standard feature.

Just get a wrench, screw driver, duct tape, kerosene, a blow torch, and call it good.

billy sheehan atittude has one, hyperbass comes with one on each string

attitude - how appropriate.

 

[Breslin dp]

My Pnut II bass came with one but it's a drop a tuner, does that count?

Seriously I don't know what's all the hype about. It's like someone is asking for PJ configuration bass models and you advice him to buy a set of PJ pickups and replace the acutal pickups in his bass. What is more, why should I explain the purpose of the question ?

On topic: Thanks for the essential posts. Keep them coming

 

[starcycle]

let's not forget kubicki basses with the lever that brings the E string down to a D.

let's not forget Kubicki basses as well!

Some people offered up some options that while not exactly what you were looking for, they would get you to a very similar result. Your response came of as sarcasm, you basically told people you knew how to tune your bass and to "stay on topic". Nobody decided to come on to TB to get sarcasm in exchange for solicited advice.

Also, people are just curious as to why you are looking for production basses that come stock with detuners. Where's the fault in that?

Amen, I mean..What if someone came to talkbass and created a thread that said

Basses with PJ pickups

Hi, I would like to know which serial (I mean not custom) basses come with a PJ Pickup configuration? So far I have found Fender Aerodyne, Fender P bass Special, and the Dean Edge. Could you give more examples ?

I'm sure he'd get a hell of a response!

Had you explained the purpose of the question, you would have avoided the mess of anyone giving you information you don't want. (Not to mention that you also would not have any posts asking for the purpose)

How the hell knowing the purpose of the question can help people write down a list of basses with a dtuner ? Explain please becaouse i don't see any connection.

People want to know the purpose of the question because you can add a Hipshot detuner to just about any bass in a matter of minutes without any modifications to the bass- it's not at all like asking for a certain pickup configuration as you can't change the configuration without a good deal of work. Your question is more along the lines of "what basses come with a sticker?" It's confusing to most because you could just pop a sticker on any bass.

Now calm down or this thread will be closed.

 

[Gus Borden]

You know what? It doesn't matter, you obviously don't get it.

It's not that people need to know why, it's simply that they are curious.

Talkbass is a community, it's a forum for discussion. It's not an "Answer Machine".

 

[stop-the-run]

Ok nevermind, this thread goes nowhere. Better close it right now pretending there was no question.

 

[Thunderitter]

If you ask a question and you don't get the answers you're expecting then you're not asking the question in the right way. Not that there's anything 'wrong' with that, just don't flame/blame everyone else. If you do think everyone else is stupid, remember your on a forum and be nice - it's usually not personal!

You got some good answers and as it's been said the rarity comes down to the fact that an Xtender is very much and aftermarket item and therefore unlikely to be found on mainstream production models, unless they are signature models, where the artist in question in the first place has fitted it aftermarket.

 

[jgsbass]

Yes of course I could do that but as you can see I didn't ask how can i tune my E string to D. Cheers.

Yet thats what the d-tuner is for. What purpose did you have in mind for it. This is why you got the helpful responses you got. A community of bass players trying to help you.

 

[musicbikeman]

Sorry to get completely off topic, but I think his name says it all. Stop the run, the run of posts that neither answer the unanswerable question or stay on topic...

Not very helpful but I think I saw a junky Samick that had a d-tuner.

You sound very narky. It is not a right that you have, where you ask a question and we have to answer. If you give attitude, one of three things will happen.
1. Because most people on here are decent, they will try and placate you.
2. You will bring out the perverse side of TB.
3. Your future posts will be ignored by the majority.

This is an online chat/conversation, so why not respond to the questions being asked of you too?

 

[stop-the-run]

Let me clarify things a bit. I am not a begginer bass player. I am a part of many bass communities and had no problem so far. It seems that this one is a specific one. About my attitude and sarcasm: How would you react going into the shop, asking for a banana and getting an apple instead ? Would you say: Thank you for the apple but I asked for a banana so I can do my banana split later tonight and eat it with my friends OR Excuse me but I didn't ask for an apple ? Yes I know that shop is not a discussion board but I think you get what I mean. Browsing all the catalogues takes time and I thought that the amount of experienced registered users could share some of their knowledge and help me a bit. Rather than that they want to discuss my person, which I find a bit weird.

 

[jgsbass]

You didn't use a good analogy here. Its more akin to saying "which apples come with stickers on them" and you got an answre that stickers are available separately if you wish to put one on your apple. At no time did anyone on this forum steer you to a different instrument. We pointed out that the d-tuner is a modification that is available on some basses stock where the company puts it on and as an item that you can purchase to put on the bass of your choice. Wouldn't you be more comfortable putting the item on the bass you love rather than having to go through finding another bass that responds to you?
Or just tune down to D

 

[Gus Borden]

I don't recall anyone judging you based on your skill level. And your analogy is certainly not correlative. For starters, you haven't payed for anything here.

You realize that if you have to explain your attitude and sarcasm then there was no place for it in the first place.
