V4lve Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) Just got one. It doesnt work well on my E and B string and when nothing is happening just flashes. Is that a low battery warning? I swapped the battery but no difference. Edited February 19, 2013 by V4lve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I'm not sure about the flashing bit, all of mine don't appear to exhibit that! Try moving the tuner to different spots on your headstock, as well as tuning using the 12 fret (octave) harmonic (not the fretted note) to see if that helps on those lower strings. I have both the older (green to red) display and a couple if the new (gree to orange to red display) models. I will see if i can replicate your problem. What base are you using and how old are the strings? (Dead ones may affect the tuners ability possibly?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Ok, I'm back - you mean, it flashes once with a dash in the middle of the screen? - yes, the tuner is telling you it can't read what you are sending it. It can easily do my low B, but struggles a bit with my much lower F# string - but is fine using a 12 fret harmonic. They are brilliant tuners, highly recommended - i have one clipped on to most of my basses! So small, they can stay on the headstock all the time, can't they!?
