Best clip-on tuner recommendations

[Bass Culture]

Dear all, just bought an acoustic guitar on a whim and I need a clip-on tuner now.  What's a decent, reliable and accurate tuner that won't cost the earth?  Thanks.

I've always used Korg Pitchclip. Not too dear (although not the cheapest) and never had any problems.

I've had a TC Electronic Polytune clip on for a few years and it's never let me down.

Another vote for a TC Electronic PolyTune (or UniTune).

Thanks for your replies so far and - yes - I should have used the search function. Sorry!

+1 for the Unitune. Nice clear screen. Around £20ish.

I have both a Polytune (pointless for bass but good for guitar I guess) and Unitune, but the Peterson StroboClip HD is by far my favourite. Not cheap but shop around and it can be found for under £50, not at Andertons, however:

Thanks all, I've pulled the trigger on a Unitune.

Nice one, I’ve been very impressed with mine. I’d previously had others which were ok at home but just couldn’t handle gigs, ambient noise interfered and E string not even a starter. Whereas the TC I used for many gigs, on some big stages with very loud background music and no problems at all. I bought it for overseas gigs to cut down on taking too much gear but ended up using it instead of a pedal tuner after the first overseas gig, it worked so well.

Anyone have an opinion on the best clip-on tuner for a 5 string bass, ie can tune a B string on a noisy stage?

I have a cheap one made by reverb, it’s round. It handles a low B nicely
