I see, so you get used to how slow it is to be close enough.

Thanks for your suggestions. I'm leaning towards the polytune, but the Peterson does look good. Is it so accurate as to be annoying to tune with though i.e. it takes ages to get the strobe to stop?

Thanks all. I'm avoiding clip on tuners as I tend to forget to take them to gigs whereas I've never forgotten a pedal board, so a pedal tuner is preferred. Also, the clip on tuners have ruined the decal on one of my Fender custom shop guitars so I'd rather like to avoid that problem! I've also owned about 5 Snark clip on tuners and all have failed. I have quite a few of the cheapest Korg clip on tuners and all are still working (albeit I forget to take them to gigs)! It looks like the Korg pitchblack, TC Electronics, Peterson and Boss are all worth checking out then. I'll have a look at them 'in the flesh' to see which I prefer.

I've predominantly been a guitarist over my playing life but did have a few years not so long ago playing bass. I used a clip on tuner which was fine, but I did occasionally forget to bring it to gigs. My bass holds tuning very well and I can tune by ear if needs be. But I like to be able to check the tuning between songs as sometimes, I find that hearing the pitch of the note is quite difficult in some venues and depends on where you are set up. So I'd like to go down the route of a pedal tuner. I've owned the Boss TU2 in the past, but never used it for bass. Are there any tuners I should avoid that are not particularly good for bass? I like the look of the TC Electronic Polytune. I don't need super accuracy, just something quick, reliable and easy to read even in sunlight (if I ever get a bass gig again!).

The HX Stomp now has 8 blocks available.
