Double Bass Clip-on tuner recommendations for NS Upright electric basses

[bgbassbabe]

I have two NS upright basses (a 4-string and a 5-string). I struggle to find a clip-on tuner that will work well with both. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have one of these attached to the bridge of my Azola bug bass, I find it tracks the lower pitches better than the standard guitar model.

Petersen Strobo Clip works fine on my Yamaha. It's not a 5 string, however.

I really like the TC Electronic Polytune clip. Very sensitive, the battery has lasted ages.
Previously I used a Snark clip-on, but the finish on the plastic eventually turned very sticky.

The link isn't working.

The link isn't working.

apologies, I just checked it and it’s working for me. it’s the D’Addario Eclipse Cello & Bass tuner.

I have your basic Snark and clip it to the bridge.

I have Snark tuners. And I have both TC tuners, (Unitune and Polytune) which I use for guitar. All were dodgy on bass guitar B strings and upright E strings. I bought the D'Addario Eclipse on a lazy Sunday Amazon surfing session. I couldn't be happier. It was so cheap and I had cc points to spare !

I use a snark XL and clip it to the bold that attaches the stand to the bass itself. It's nice because I can leave it on and no one can see it.
