Tuners

Good Afternoon all.

I need a new tuner, question is, which one? I do not use effects pedals, my tuner being the only floor pedal I use. Anyway, the old dear decided to die (slowly) last night which created some interesting lost notes ( I wonder where they are?) so the time has come to purchase a new one. All I need is a foot-switch/ tuner combination. Any suggestions, erstwhile bass buddies? Also, what do you find the best connection, bass to pedal to amp, or line in /line out connection? I want a good one, and so will see this as an investment, not a cost. As you can tell, it's been a while since I considered this question - the dead tuner foot-switch was 12 and designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

Blessings

As always in this situation, I draw attention to this, which may or may not float your boat...

Like me you only use a tuner n no other pedal so pedal board space isnt an issue....Ashdown Bassometer. I know im biased being an ashdown freak but i love mine. It repalce a cheapo no-nmae tuning pedal i had which in itself was the muts nuts but the ashdown is just so precise and could survive a nuclear war

Good Evening each.

Thank you discreet. Ordered the mini thing from a South American river on monday, it arrived today. Positioning a little tricky on my MusicMan headstock, but it seems to have nestled in to it's new home nicely, and strangely, it works! Quirky display, but easy enough to read. Used it tonight at an audition, no-one noticed it was there, and I got the gig. And all for the price of four pints and a packet of crisps at my local. Marvelous. And the girlfriend is pleased because I havn't had the four pints. Everyone's a winner.
Thank you POW22. I like the retro dial thingy on the Ashdown. Appeals to my liking of retro dial thingies. Will take a look. The mini thing is good, but I feel I want a footswitch too.

Blessings

Dingo.

Having just bought the MB TTE500 of here my Korg rack tuner is going to be twiddling its proverbials.
The head doesn't have a tuner out or a mute switch so having spent a fortune (to me) on the amp I don't want anything to get in the signal path if I choose to go to a pedal tuner. So having no experience at all of an in-line tuner is the Polytune really "True Bypass" should I choose to buy one.
Although the PW one is a great idea "I think" I'd rather use a pedal but not 100% sure which way to go yet.

You're welcome, I'm somewhat relieved that you like it! ;)

Discreet, Used the mini beast last night and it is a little marvel. Some of our repertoire has me right on the nut for periods, but the tuner kept itself right out of harms way. I had some concerns that due to the MusicMan head it wouldn't have room, but my anxieties were unfounded. I also wondered if it might be squeezed out when my bass was resting in the jaws of Hercules, but once again, it kept itself well and truly intact. Leaving it switched on while playing is quite entertaining, too!!
Thanks again.

Blessings
