Gunsfreddy2003 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 My Behringer BTR2000 rack mounted tuner does not seem to like the low B on my 5 string bass it just does not register at all when I pluck the string. Has anyone else encountered this problem? The tuner works fine on the standard EADG strings. Help!!!1 MJB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 have you tried hitting the 12th fret harmonic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best help I can offer is the suggestion you get something else. They seem to be complete rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 (edited) I so nearly bought one of the Behringer units, but opted for a Korg DTR1000 instead. Cost £140, but worth every penny (or should that be "cent") Accurate as you like, whatever the pitch. Makes setting up an instrument a much more accurate process. Put it this way; Everyone else spots it, plugs in and tunes up. Only the Peterson tuners are as good / better, and they're V. expensive...

Happy Jack Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 +1 on the Korg - brilliant device and looks really cool while you're playing too. But it IS expensive and tuning on the 12th fret harmonic is a MUCH cheaper option ... and it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truegeminis Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Another +1 on the Korg. It has no problem with the B string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GremlinAndy Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Yep I agree I have a Korg at the rehearsal room and it is great. Low B No prob. My Gig-rig has a Peterson Stroborack which I can heartily recommend! I have heard many owners of the Behrry be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
