A precise chromatic tuner that listens through your microphone and guides you to standard EADG tuning. Works for 4-string electric and acoustic bass guitars.
Bass guitars start at E1 (~41 Hz). Our tuner uses an extended FFT buffer specifically to track these low frequencies without octave errors.
Plug your bass into your computer through an audio interface for maximum accuracy, or use your laptop microphone for quick tuning.
Drop D, D standard, E♭ — the chromatic detection handles every tuning. Just follow the cents readout.
The lowest E on a standard 4-string bass. One octave below the guitar low E.
A perfect fourth above E.
Another perfect fourth up.
The top string. A perfect fourth above D.
At ~41 Hz, E1 sits near the lower limit of most laptop microphones. Plug into an audio interface if possible, or pluck firmly and mute other strings.
Yes. The chromatic detection picks up any pitch. For the low B string (~30.9 Hz), you may need an audio interface since the microphone bandwidth may not capture it cleanly.
Check tuning at the start of every practice session. Bass strings hold tuning better than guitar strings but still drift with temperature, humidity, and playing intensity.
Train your ear to play in the pocket.
