Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had two of the Planet Waves S.O.S. Bass Guitar Tuners. I got them cheaper somewhere else (an online music retailer). They don't work. Don't waste your money.
The first one I got arrived safe and sound. The tuner works by pulsing two small LEDs. You shine the LEDs on the string at the 12th fret and when the string vibrates at the same frequency as the LEDs (and the lights stop pulsing), you're in tune. Sounds easy enough. Well, the first one arrived and only pulsed on the "B" setting. None of the other setting pulsed. So I changed the battery (which by the way cost almost as much as I paid for the tuner). Still nothing. So I sent it back to the retailer and they sent me a replacement.
The second unit arrived and I had high hopes that it would work. No such luck. When I turned it on, only one LED was lit. One was out. So I changed the battery and turned it on and still only one LED. So I tapped it gently and the other LED lit up. But it would not pulse on any setting.
The bottom line is that these things don't work. They're cheap. But that's about all I can say about them. They are useless for actually tuning anything. I definitely cannot recommend these to anyone. If you're lucky enough to get one that actually works, good luck. But I've had two of them that didn't work. I can only conclude that they're not worth the money you pay for them. The two I had didn't work at all out of the box. That doesn't give me a good feeling about the product. I will not buy anymore of these tuners.
I have other products by Planet Waves that work as intended. This review is not about trashing the company, only the S.O.S. Bass Guitar Tuner.
