Bass Culture Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japhet Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) I've always used Korg Pitchclip. Not too dear (although not the cheapest) and never had any problems. Edited November 10, 2021 by Japhet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddy Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I've had a TC Electronic Polytune clip on for a few years and it's never let me down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skybone Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Another vote for a TC Electronic PolyTune (or UniTune). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velarian Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 +1 for the Unitune. Nice clear screen. Around £20ish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobthedog Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 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: https://www.andertons.co.uk/peterson-stroboclip-hd-clip-on-strobe-tuner-pt-stcliphd?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&gclid=Cj0KCQiA-K2MBhC-ARIsAMtLKRsUrjz-CdpTJXOeCd8lke5JhQaqsoQJY_kVAvUDoXlTylbwmjYMbFkaAiGdEALw_wcB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass Culture Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 Thanks all, I've pulled the trigger on a Unitune. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I have a cheap one made by reverb, it’s round. It handles a low B nicely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
