5 out of 5 (3 ratings) Rate and Review This Product

Read 2 Boss TU-12EX Chromatic Tuner Reviews

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Best for 5 string bass."

Feature: Has all the features I need. Can be used for guitar and bass(tunes a low B with no problem,most tuners won't even read a low B). Can be set for flat tunings. Has an audible beap when your in tune. Very easy to read and see the display. I love the needle, you can see how flat or sharp you are. I recomend using the chromatic setting because the guitar setting, you have to select what string you want to tune, the chromatic reads whatever string your tuning. Also comes with a nice carrying bag. Ease of Use: So easy to use. No need to even read the manual. Quality: Sure, its made out of plastic, but it is very durable. Battery compartment is sturdy. Input jacks are solid. Should last a long time. Value: Price is a tad high, but I've spent more on tuners that didn't work as good, so I'd have to say it is money well spent. Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed any. Shouldn't need it either, its a tuner. The Wow Factor: Cool colors, black and silver with an orange display, but who cares as long as it does what you want. Overall: My search for a tuner is over. Works perfect for a 5 string bass. If anything happened to this tuner I would definately have to get another one.
