Double Bass Ok, Between these 3 tuners.. which one?

I think I mastered it. I found it to be quite unstable and unreliable in practice.

Must be one of those YMMV situations. I find it very accurate. Plus, it's easier to read in bright light outside. The several Snark versions I have are relegated to guitar and ukulele duties.

Accuracy was not the issue. Rather, precision was the issue. The Snark SN2 grabs the E-string better than anything else I've used and it has a stable bright display. The down-side is that it eats batteries. At a fraction of the cost of the Stroboclip, for me, it actually works better. With the Stroboclip, repeated playing of the string would produce slightly different results. Basically, there was always drift in the emulated stroboscopic display. As you say, YMMV. That was my experience.

yada yada! I got the TC polyclip now boys.. haha


It's actually not that great to be honest.. but whatever I got it.. haha.


I'm using for an upright five string..yes upright five string upright, and polyclip is connected to the bridge.. so thats probably why its not the greatest.. haha..

but whatever it looks nice and i like it for now..

The pitchhawk 2 works better for the low B clipped onto the bridge than clipped to the pegbox. But it seems that the vibration is too weak in the pegbox to be analyzed. On my 6-string electric bass guitar the pitch hawk 2 has almost the same problem with the low B when clipped to the head plate.
