Will this tuner handle a 5-string bass? E.g.- B/E/A/D/G

Yes, I've used it to tune 4, 5, and 6 string basses. The tuner is a chromatic style tuner and should handle any instrument. I use the 12th fret harmonic to tune with.

I have a 5-string dropped 1-1/2 steps (so lowest string is G#) and it has no problems with this extreme lows.

I play in a string band and it handles my fiddle (high end) and our stand up bass (low end) just fine. Not sure how that low B will be. It's a solid tuner. Our guitar players have Boss tuners and they are switching to the Korg.

Absolutely. I play a 5-string bass and it is the best tuner I have ever used. You can even use it to check the harmonics to see if they need adjusted. It will display any note that you strike fretted or open and some if it is in tune. Also it is the best mute switch I have used. No poping noise when pressing the footswitch. You will love it.

It should not give you any trouble tuning a bass. I don't personally play bass but as long as it is first in your chain it should handle a bass just fine as Korg advertises it as a guitar/bass tuner. I hope that helps.

Absolutely. I've never had a problem down to low B and beyond. Best tuner pedal I've ever owned in fact.

The tuner has a mic input, so u can tune an acoustic instrument. Never tried an acoustic bass, but I would assume it should work.

I'm using it to tune my bass, which is more difficult than a regular guitar, and it does a good job. Very easy to use and accurate.

Yes, this tuner can be used for either Acoustic or Electric guitars, as long as it is only used for a '6-string'.

It works better on not wound (or flat wound) and light gauge strings. I didn't get much effect on 5 string bass. Considering I got 2 almost dried out cans, I couldnt apply to much product, but I think a little amount should work.

sergio: thanks for the question but i have never played a 5-string bass. the cost on this plate is almost nothing so what i did on a previous plate that didn't fit is i swapped it out for something else with my local music store. the plate is universal.

Have used it on tenor banjo, guitar, bouzouki, mandolin. It works fine on any stringed instrument. Very accurate and is one of the few tuners that will work well on the low strings.

In order to find out if it will fit a 5 string bass, you'll have to measure the width of the 5 strings when they're on the bass and compare that number to the dimensions that's listed on this item.

It will show you the exact tuning of what each string is. So you can definitely tune any bass or guitar with this. Most tuners will work that way. This one is simple and easy to use.

It is designed to work best with a bass guitar but you can plug an electric 6 string into it just fine. Of course it won't sound as good as an amp designed for an electric guitar.

Not a good idea. The tuner doesn't respond to any of lowest 15 white and black keys below C2, which is two octaves below C4 (middle C).

It can tune to lower tunings. It will not however simply detect the note. You need to push the flat button however many times and then tune. It also does not show any notes other than EADGBe. For instance if you pushed the flat button and were tuning your E string to E flat, it would still read it as if you were tuning to E and show an E note.

yes it will, but you may end up with hum, it is a tube preamp, it does have a bass guitar setting. you can return it, so hell try it.

Not sure about the 5-string, that would depend the headstock length. I have fit two Fender J-basses, both four string. If the 5 string is the same length overall as a Fender Jazz Bass, then it will fit for sure. 48 inches is the total length of a Jazz Bass.

No. It will sound okay on a guitar amp but it won't pick up the low end on your bass.

Very sorry that I can not help you. I am trying to learn to play the guitar. I have no knowledge of tuners. I saw the Snark advertised in the net and bought It at a venture.

I use it on guitars but it is supposed to be multi-instrumental. You will have to know what you want your strings tuned to.
