Why I use $20 tuners

i have 2 of those puppies, one for the gig bag and one stays in the studio. i've dropped them a lot but they're still going strong.

 

This is the reason I'm afraid to buy a nice strobe tuner. I've lost about 3-4 of those $20 tuners, and I feel like I'm tuner-cursed.

 

I've never lost a tuner... Of course most of them are in one rack or another. But I never misplace them and they never need batteries. But now I want a stroborack!

 

HEY! Get a RH450 Jimmy!

surely you would NOT lose that.

 

Built in tunage!

 

I think with a stage or rack tuner loss wouldn't really be a problem.

Hmm. that N-tune looks interesting, wonder when the active version is coming out.

 

Mine's a TU-2 on a pedal board. Not going to forget it anywhere!

 

Lose the rack tuner ....the rack compressor....the rack distortion....the rack itself... and put the head in your gig-bag...

 

that is extremely interesting.

 

That is, until you have a drummer that you want to get your revenge on for making you carry his "extended" set to a gig one time. Now he will feel the pain!
MWAHAHAHA!

 

And leave the hernia and TONE behind!

 

They are pretty good. especially the Korg ones.

 

Strap-on-tuners!

 

A tuner is a tuner

 

So I hear that this super top secret company is making tuning pegs that fit where the key would go on your pegs. Each string has its own, tuned, tuning fork! You can even get active versions so that you can switch tunings using the built in memory!

No more lost tuners! Unless, of course, you lose your headstock

 

Just leaning foreward with your bass,,,will take you out of tune WAY more than any of the fancy tuners out there can fix for you. Just the weight of the neck will throw all of that out the window.

Try it.
Tune your bass perfectly....lean it out at 45 degrees and see if it's the same.
