Clip on tuners??

[shawshank72]

Have people used these with success?
Looking into it based on how easy to just clip on and tune.

I use and recommend Snark tuners. I like the back one the best.

They work great. Perfect for green room tune up and studio work where you don't want a tuner in your signal chain. I like the Snark just fine but do some shopping for features that may mean something to you.

I have a Planet Waves NS Mini and like it a lot. Cheap, small and effective. I keep meaning to buy a couple so I can just keep one on each bass.

I bought a Joyo off of Ebay for $4, just as kind of a joke and was incredibly surprised how great it works. It is a great tuner that I can keep on my bench instead of running up and downstairs to my strobe. These are great, and cheap, you'll be happy if you get one

I have several snark clip on tuners, one in my bands practice studio, one in my home studio, one in my classical guitar case, one in my acoustic case, on with my viola/cello and one on my Les Paul. They are great tuners, I don't use them live with my bands, that's what my rack tuner is for. But I really like them for studio and practice use, very reliable.

The Snarks work great on electric and especially upright bass. Perfectly fine for the stage, and I've used it in the studio, but it's not as accurate as a Peterson and I do have to fine tune by ear when using it in the studio.

Overall, though, I like the Snarks enough to have 2 or 3 around all the time.

I've got a cheap Snark and it does the job. Bedroom, practice and live. Use it all the time and works pretty much anywhere.

I use them and they work great! +1 on the Snark. I also have a Petersen that I like, too.(much more money)

I have a Planet Waves NS Mini but don't use it that much. I prefer my Korg PitchJack. In a noisy room, sometimes the clip on doesn't register or registers the wrong pitch.

See if it has a mic and the option of turning the mic off.

I have the red Snark tuner, and it works great. Have found it to be very accurate. It has the mic option on it, but most of the time I use the vibration setting. I can tune with other noise going on, even tune unplugged. It does have trouble picking up low B.

 

[Tomkat8]

I have a peterson and love it, good friend of mine swears by the snark.

 

[Shakin-Slim]

I bought a Planet Waves clip on when I bought a ukulele. I use it all the time on my bass, too. At home or on stage, it's pretty handy and easy to use.

 

[shawshank72]

Then im ordering a few of these.
Keep in misc areas for easy access.
Thanks all

I have the black Snark tuner. Works pretty well but can be impossible to see in sunlight for outdoor gigs or fests.

I like the Snark (black), but I haven't used it for any gigs. It seems to have a slight problem picking up the B string on my Stingray 5.
