Strobe Tuning a Upright Bass
The upright bass is commonly tuned to EADG regardless of music genre, but there are other tunings. Many seasoned professional bassists “tweak” their tuning to improve their sound; we call this “Sweetened Tuning”.
If you are not familiar with this kind of tuning jargon, relax, because there is one tuner that does it all for you. Because of Peterson tuners unique “Sweetened Tuning” feature, each tuner has a host of tempered presets which you simply choose - the tuner then guides you automatically – just like using an ordinary tuner – but sweeter. Its easy! Using your Peterson strobe tuner, your bass will sound much better than when tuned using an ordinary tuner.
Many tuners have difficulty deciphering pitch from an upright bass due to the complexity of tone, Peterson Tuners have been used for many decades in orchestras around the world to track the lowest pitches including double basses with B and C extended ranges.
