Step 1: Get a Tuner
There are three types of tuners you may use:- Tuning forks
- Electric tuners
- Online tuners
- Tuning forks are accurate, but can be difficult to use. Electric versions are the most convenient of the three, but if you don't want to spend any money look for a free bass tuner on the web.
Step 2: Tune
- Start with the low E string
- Find the note on your tuner
- Turn the tuning peg to adjust
- Turning to the right will make the tone lower
- Turning to the left will make the tone higher
- When the string sounds correct, set it by gently pushing the peg inwards
