Interesting bull shit.
I don't play with the tuners.
I tune my bass and then play the strings.
-
Yeah I don't get what the problem is that this solved.
-
Of course we need this. With this people still don't hear the bass, but now they don't hear it perfectly tuned.

You are blind then for the underlying ingenuity of it. :mrgreen:
-
Well, chefs also like to tweak recipes just a little.
-
It's a solution in in search of a problem.

The tuning won't be any more accurate, but the people who don't hear the bass can console them selves in knowing that the bassist saved 2 seconds tuning up.

A solution looking for a problem. I've never re-strung a bass and wished desperately that each tuner had a subtly different gear ratio... I use a peg winder anyway, and usually I'm way more interested in making sure that the string feeds onto the post correctly.
-
I would be interested to try them, but I'm not likely to switch from Hipshot any time soon.
-
Point is every half turn is a half note I believe. Or something like that.
-
The one thing -that I think- does make sense is the accuracy coupled to the number of teeth on the gear wheel.
It's one of the reasons why I like large open gear tuners better than small closed ones.
But I can't see why you'd not want that level of accuracy on all strings?
-
Well, they are all exactly as accurate as the other.
-
Accurate tuning then for inaccurate ears?
-
If you buy these, you'll still look at your tuner pedal while turning the key. Maybe you'll save a millisecond or two. If that's important to you, go for it. Just think of all the things you can do with all that extra time.
-
I think it's stupid and I won't get new tuners while the old ones just work. But still nice. I can imagine top brands will use those in future.
