TUNER

Me too - ever since I tuned up one day - tuner said everything was fine. Started playing - the A string sounded way off. Check it again, tuner says fine. Play it again - sounds off. It wasn't until I cranked the string about a half turn up, then down that the string sounded fine - tuner still said it was fine.

I know this makes zero logical sense but it spooked me and now I always do my first tuning so I can hear it. Subsequent mid performance tunings I do silent.

Are you running it off a battery or power supply? I could be that the battery is/was dying.
 
I have a strobostomp 2 which I really like. It doubles as a DI as well, so double value for me. Very accurate, easy to use, and the big backlit LCD is nice! :)

I use a Line 6 BassPODXTLive to tune at gigs but got this for my 17 year old son to use(I use it for setups):

Excellent shrunken version of the big ones plus a DI.
