Steinberger Bass and Tuning

[magic8161]

What kind of clip on tuner works on a Steinberger type headless bass. I just bought A Hohner B2A And not sure what to use to tune it. I may have to do it the old way by ear.

……or a good pedal tuner like the Peterson Strobo Stomp….

But that’s a great point! Never thought of that.

I tune my Steinberger XL-25 with a regular tuner with no issues.

Not understanding the question. You tune it the same you'd tune any other bass. Just can't use a clip on tuner. There are pedal tuners and plug in tuners.

I get it. I wanted to use a clip on type

I've not found a clip on tuner for my Steinberger copy (Cort), so I end up having to use a tuning pedal.

That got me thinking though. I wonder if the body rest arm was installed if that would work with a clip-on tuner?

I have a Korg Pitchjack I use with my Steinberger. When it actually needs to be tuned.
If you can find one.

A snark will clip onto the stub

I have an N/S Stick.
I use a TC Unitune clip on.

You can also use a clip-on tuner on the knobs, Its what I do on my headless if I need to use the clip on.
