I play in a Rock band that plays metal, and the Boss TU-2 seems to be perfect. I have no need to be ridiculously accurate when playing rock 'n' roll baby!

Pedal tuner

P-Wave's tuner does very good for me. But for some reason only bypass is working for me. Anyone know why? It's not a huge issue, i just have to put the volume down on my bass

What do you mean "only bypass is working" for you? Do you mean the tuner is not tuning at all, or what exactly?

Personally didn't use many tuners. My first pedal tuner is TU-2 and I've never been in a need to change it.. Simply accurate, and enough to get me going 
Just tune it dudes 
Just tune it dudes i hope that guy is joking about using his octivious squeezer just for a tuner.....lolooolololololollllllllo

I bolded the tuner bit and bolded and underlined the funny bit, seeing as you are from Melbourne.
Onto the topic, I use a beat up TU-2 I acquired for $40. Im thinking of ditching it for a more accurate tuner since I tune so low and it is not very accurate.
It only tunes when i put the patch cable into the jack that tunes it but doesn't mute it. When i put it into the other one, all it does is mute it, and not tune it
