EUBass Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Hi everyone, I just bought a behringer TU300 tuner for my electric upright bass(babybass actually). It works perfectly fine with my electric bass but it struggles to recognise the signal on the upright... Any ideas on the topic? Thanks.

I use the snark clip on tuners and you can set it to vibrate and it works really well. I appreciate this doesn’t help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickA Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 (edited) What are you clipping it to? I've a little tc electronics unitune clip. Works on electric ( clipped to the amp or the headstock) and on my double bass ( clipped to the bridge). You need to find the bit of EUB that vibrates most. AHH... not a clip on. Just ignore me. I've a TC polytune on my pedal board ( works very well ) just never use it since I got the clip. £18. Edited October 25 by NickA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 Since the Behringer is a pedal tuner, what kind of pickup is on the bass? I've had good results with a cheap Harley Benton pedal tuner (the Boss TU-2 copy) with a piezo bridge wing pickup. But if you have the old style Baby Bass diaphragm pickup, it might be that the more percussive thud those put out is harder for the tuner to read. A clip-on tuner will probably work fine, but I know a pedal tuner can be handy in some live situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
