leave clip-on tuner on while performing?
- Thread starter Killed_by_Death

So what you're saying is once you learn how to tune your bass,you should never ever have to tune up again?
I play seated (Hey - I'm old!) and use a BOSS TU3 tuner on the floor on my Pedaltrain Nano, which is probably their smallest board, so I'm the only one who can see it. My bass stays in tune very well. I can very easily adjust the pitch during songs. What I have happen more often is my battery goes out on the last song but I just pull the Vol knob up and I'm passive. Love all this technology!
I have the luthier at Guitar Center tune mine up when I have them change the strings.
"Luthier"and "Guitar Center" are mutually exclusive terms.
You can have one,or the other.
But not both together!

I'm with you. If I was performing on the televi-zee-own I would not want that on my instrument.
I leave mine on whenever my bass is out of the case. I never have to look for it later. If someone doesn't like it... shag 'em!
I understood the female bass player for Khruangbin had a bit of share in The Return of the Ashtray, but then perhaps for the full-gig-usage of clip tuners as wellView attachment 4123352
Why so many pictures of Khruangbin? Are we really needing more facts, or just more views of Laura Lee?
And then there's the Conn strobe tuner. I worked in a music store when I was in high school and they had one of these. I think you might have to hang it on the headstock
At practice I leave it on all the time. No reason not to. On stage I turn it around backwards so the display is behind the head where no one can see it but me. That way if I forget to take it off between sets it still won't show. Mine's pretty stable so I don't have to tune much. Besides, who gets to play these days? I'm sick of CoVid!!
To all you insecure about leaving it on or not, audience won't even know what is that thing, they might think it's some sort of camera if it's one of those big things.. if it's that planet waves tiny one, they won't even notice so no worries... Better looking amateur than actually sounding amateur because your instrument went out of tune.
FFS, if the look of one bothers you, cover it with flowers...

What's funny is that when I did a search on "Khruangbin," 95% of the results that came back were pictures of Laura Lee.
I think they look really cool on stage so I clip 'em all on.
