Rack mounted tuners for 5 String bass

[Gunsfreddy2003]

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.

have you tried hitting the 12th fret harmonic?

[Gunsfreddy2003]

Not yet but will do if you think that it will work?

I have one of them. It hardly works on the E. The best help I can offer is the suggestion you get something else. They seem to be complete rubbish.

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...

I totally agree mate, Just bought the Korg DTR2000 ( Its got a handy rack light as well ) Superb and only £137.00 inc delivery!

Will.

+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.

Another +1 on the Korg. It has no problem with the B string.

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.
