I also believe something like this is very much an individual matter. Out of all the things I can think of that seem important, a self-tuning instrument seems to be toward the bottom of the list. But maybe this is because before the days of electronic tuners especially, I was kind of looked at as a human turning fork by others. Even people who might be better musicians would trust me on tuning, what was getting out of tune, etc. It's a pity my playing skills are probably not as great as my tuning skills. The bottom line, obviously, is that even a self-tuning bass would be of little interest to me. It might be nice, but basically, who cares? Whatever the mindset that Gibson has to place so much emphasis on self-tuning is something I definitely do not identify with.
