colgraff Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 So, I have just settled in for a couple of hours practising after having tidied up and reorganised my pedals and amp and I noticed that I have four tuners in my signal chain: Korg Pitchblack TC G major 2 Line 6 Bass Pod XT Pro Shure Beta Wireless GLX16 I'm expressly not counting tuners not in gig rig such as the ne in my practice amp, etc. How many do you have?

CamdenRob Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) Just the one... a TC clip-on. It's great and has aided me in my quest to carry round as little stuff as possible... Edited November 5, 2015 by CamdenRob Quote
ribbetingfrog Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 My tc bg250 has one built in and my guitar has one built in. All I ever need. Quote
CHW Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 A clip on Boss one that goes onto everything when needed I think there's one on the Boss ME unit too. That's it Oh and one of my acoustic guitars has got a built in tuner. Quote
BigRedX Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 BassPod XT BassPod XT Pro Peterson Strobo Rack Boss TU12 (bought in 1983 and still going strong) Korg pocket tuner that lives in one of my gig bags for emergencies. Quote
Ghost_Bass Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Just one, Korg Pitchblack, first on pedalboard, usefull also for muting and unplugging the cable when not playing. Quote
BILL POSTERS Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Half a dozen, except for my old Boss one theyre all cheapo ones. 2 are clip ons that cost me less than £3.00 each off ebay. i use my ears more than tuners, and dont do pedals. Quote
TheGreek Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 I have two Cadine clip ons, a Yamaha YT-100 and a Boss CT6. I've also got a Kwik-tune thing that is completely unreliable - you see them on ebay all the time - pity the fool who buys one secondhand. Quote
Stylon Pilson Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) I've got a Korg Pitchblack at the start of my pedal chain, which also doubles up as a mute switch. My TC RH450 has a tuner built in, but since I'm usually facing away from it, it serves little purpose other than to entertain the crowd with its blinkenlights. I also have a little clip-on headstock tuner that resides on my acoustic guitar. Fantastic bit of kit, but I doubt I can see it replacing the Pitchblack because obviously it lacks the "mute" functionality. Squirreled away in cupboards I've got a couple of older plug-in tuners and an old Zoom 506. Do they count? Edit: ooh, forgot that I've also got one of the Planet Waves LED strobe thingys. S.P. Edited November 6, 2015 by Stylon Pilson Quote
neepheid Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 One and a half - a trusty old Boss TU-2 which works great for me, never had a problem, never felt compelled to get anything else which people are periodically telling me are better - TU-3, Pitchblack, Polytune (although the tuning all the strings together is pretty cool, I'll give you that). The half? One of those Planet Waves things shaped like a plectrum with the strobing LEDs. Would get me out of jail if for some reason the TU-2 let me down. Quote
Norris Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) Built into Boss GT6B for gigs, little Fender clip-on for home use. Edit: Of course in an emergency there's always the age-old method... ears! Edited November 5, 2015 by Norris Quote

[/quote] I don't think a TU-2 has ever let anyone down... amazing reliability boss gear. Edited November 5, 2015 by CamdenRob Quote
colgraff Posted November 5, 2015 Author Posted November 5, 2015 I think tuners are like 9v batteries. I always have more spares than I could possibly need. Fair enough for the various things I use that happen to have a tuner in them, but why do I keep my Pitchblack (apart from it being easy to see in the dark and an ultra reliable tuner)? Quote
Lozz196 Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Three, a Boss TU2, and two Planet Waves clip-ons (one for each bass) for gigs with short changeover times. Quote
paul_5 Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 3 (or 4): a clip on, a pedal (mounted on the board), an in-built on one my guitar multi FX, and a plugin that came with Pro tools (does that count?) Quote
seashell Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 4 because I keep losing/mislaying them, so I only ever seem to know where one is at any one time. At the moment it's a clip on one that came free with BGM. Quote
ezbass Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 3. A Korg Pitch Black on my pedal board, the free clip on one that came with a BGM subscription (not a very good one I might add) and a tuner app on my phone which is pretty marvellous, especially as it was free. Quote
Roger2611 Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 A rack mount pitch black, a TU2, a new one that is similar to the TU2 (and seems just as good) and another Boss tuner TU19 or something, which I appear to have mislaid for the moment (I think it is in a guitar case) Quote
Cameronj279 Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Just the one. TC Polytune 2 mini. works great with no issues at all Quote
casapete Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 One Korg, and a couple of Snark clip ons in bass cases which for £8 a pop are really good. Oh yes, and a Korg GT6 bought in1979 by an ex girlfriend. Amazing tuner, still works fine. Quote
SteveK Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Guess I'm the only one that thinks those clip on tuners just look wrong! Tuner built in to my FX board, tuner app on my phone, and same app on my tablet. Quote
colgraff Posted November 5, 2015 Author Posted November 5, 2015 ...and after a late start, JapanAxe takes the lead! Quote
LayDownThaFunk Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 TC Polytune which died after 5 years and now a Korg Pitchblack. I would never use a clip on tuner... might as well buy a £100 bass. Quote
