D'Addario Accessories Guitar Tuner - Eclipse Headstock Tuner - Clip On Tuner for Guitar - Great for Acoustic Guitars & Electric Guitars - Quick & Accurate Tuning - Black

Accurate and easy to use. 5 string bass = no problem.

I've been using a D'A clip-on for years and have always liked it more than my other tuners. I accidently dropped it on the tile floor and broke the clip. Ten minutes later I had another one on order from Amazon. I received it the next day. The South Texas crazy hot/cold/dry/humid weather necessitated getting a replacement quickly. Now I'm glad it broke, because the new one, even thought it looks identical, seems so much better. It seems to lock on to the frequency faster and follow the adjustment process quicker. I play 5 string bass and the old one wouldn't reliably pick up the low B, this one locks on immediately. I can't understand the negative commentary. I have a lot of experience with setup and this little thing has made my life a lot easier. It's helped immeasurably reconciling 12th fret to the open string, bridge, pickup & string height, & truss rod adjustments. Problems usually arise after replacing a full set of strings. It helps if you can get everything back in the ball park by 5th fret tuning by ear. Once accomplished, it's pretty easy from there. I think I'll order another one just to have it.

I have tried many, many clip-on tuners, and this thing is pretty much the state of the art for what it is designed to do, that is, get you tuned up in a jiffy and ready to keep on rockin’ in seconds. Kind of like those guys in a pit crew who have optimized their game to get the race car driver back on the track in a matter of seconds. No jumpy needles, no “maybe’s”. You're either sharp, flat, or you’re ACCURATELY in tune. End of story! Big, bright, colorful, intuitive, easy-on-the-eyes display makes using this EXTREMELY AFFORDABLE device a pleasure to use. PLUS, when you calibrate to a different tuning standard, it STAYS in that mode even when you turn it off, And when it is on, it plainly and continuously displays the current calibration value on the display! So if the music sounds somewhat weird there’s no reason to be shy about asking the band, for example, “Are you guys in 440 or 444 like me?” Best tuner I have ever bought in 59 YEARS as a guitarist.

Don't forget to take the sticker off the front. I thought it wasn't working but it actually works great. Looks good and easy to use and well made.

Small, quick, and effective. It makes tuning between songs as easy as it's ever been. Tuned my bass with this thing and then plugged it up to my pedal tuner to compare and the results were pretty much spot on, so you know this thing does what it's supposed to. I will caution that it does start to struggle with lower registers, and I can't see it working on anything lower than an E string on a bass, so if you're one of those pretentious bass players who need more than four strings, you might have to tune that last one by ear, but let's be honest, you're not REALLY using it, right?...that's a joke, I swear, I own a five string bass myself!

Reasonable price and works great. takes CR 2032 button battery. Would buy again.

Better than the one other tuner ive tried. It tunes properly, clips easy, and is very sensitive and accurate. Doesnt have as much mobility as one would like

One of the most accurate simple to use tuners. It’s compact, easy to see and use guitar tuner for electric or acoustic. Perfect for any headstock and adjustable. I highly recommend.
