Clip-on tuner recomendations?

Ageinggroover

I have one of those Snark Chromatic tuners, which is a very nice thing except that the plastic socket into which the swivel bracket fits has broken - it's done it twice in different places and is obviously a weak point.

I'd buy another, but wonder if anyone else has any recommendations?

I have a few (including the Snark) and the one I bought last time and the one I'd buy again is the Planet Waves Micro Tuner. Performance wise there's not much in it but I do like that it's so unobtrusive.

Korg Pitch Black here, works fine.

Sna... oh

My toddler beats the crap out of my snark tuners.

They are all still going strong.

I wasn't a fan of the huge planet waves tuner and I can advise you not to buy the fender one, mine has developed a glitch and struggles to stay on.

If the korg clip on is half as good as the pitch black it has to be worth a shot

My Snark has mysteriously stopped working - changed the battery and it still just won't play ball.

Will be watching this thread, might be buying something else. Don't know if I'll go Snark again - this isn't my first.

I bought the intellitouch one when they first came out, and I've since bought a Snark.  Out of those two the Snark is much better.  I don't know about the others on the market.

Korg AW2G is a bit nicer than a Snark IMO, but costs more. The swivel joint is more flexible and I prefer the display (be sure to turn the backlight on in low light). It will do vibration or sound tuning.

I've got both the regular and super tight snarks. The super tight tracks better but the one I have doesn't do audio tuning (regular one does).The Korg tracks as well as the Super Tight Snark and does audio - probably the main reason to pay the extra for the Korg if you already like the Snark display.

Ha, came here to ask if anyone had clip on tuner recommendations as another Snark of mine has died.

I've got a snark and mine works fine. If it breaks I'll probably get a planet waves mini, just because its so tiny.

I've just ordered a planet waves mini. The reviews looked really good on Amazon so I took a chance on it.

Thanks for all the replies. I love the colourful little Snark, but the simplicity of the Planet Waves mini appeals, will probably try one - and it's cheaper!

Wait until s/he reaches 15 then it'll get broken, at least that's what happened to mine!

I have 2 snarks. Nice and bright, but not very accurate.

My korg AW-2 ones are much better, try 2-3 at once on a guitar

I got a Peterson one. Very accurate and clever, especially with buzz feiten, sweetened tunings, etc, but a bit annoying to use

Ageinggroover

Wow, those Peterson tuners are expensive, but I guess you get what you pay for. They look very well made.

I've got the little planet waves one, its very good, even at stage volumes it still handles tuning very well. Very easy to see and very unobtrusive to the look of the guitar. I buy one for every one of my live guitars!

I have a Planet Waves headtock one which is very good on guitar but doesn't seem to work very well on bass, particularly the E and A strings. Can anyone recommend one that can handle tuning a bass or any recommendations for my existing one?

Cheers

EDIT:Anyone? A good clip on tuner for bass? A Snark SN-1?
