How To Tune Your Bass (Beginner Bass Basics)
???? My full beginner bass course: https://yeah.bassbuzz.com/tuner
Because no one wants to hear an out of tune bass. ????
The first step to being able to tune your bass is to understand the basics of the musical alphabet. I’ll walk you through that in this video so you know how to read your tuner.
Then I’ll talk over your options for getting in tune. If you’re a beginner, the best way to tune is with a tuner. Tuning by ear isn’t reliable unless you’re good at it.
There are three different options for tuning with a tuner, so I’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each.
Finally, I’ll demonstrate tuning with a clip-on tuner, so you can see what kind of adjustments you need to make to tune your own bass.

Ty for the info working on this myself seems to be a big help and thanks for the patience for us all here on earth most don't have patience for anything or anyone but there slefs being anyways ty myself and have a good great day stay safe stay blessed and always remember to smile
Is there an app for tuning the bass similar to guitar tuning? If yes which is the most accurate
Thanks for this but very confused about notes, but I’ll figure it out. Thanks
Thank you, Josh! So great that all kind of things have been happening which we beginners might bump into ????
When you use a plug in tuner, is it in the key of C and 440hz?
That was brilliant. So clear and inspiring. Thank you so much!
ty heaps for all your help

Still figuring out the b# and a# since you covered it with keyboard keys ????????
I see you like to talk a lot this video could have been made in 2 minutes you could have said get yourself a tuner watch this tuner look how I use it and within one minute you could have went through all four strings
I’m pretending to play bass on an old Fender Squier Precision Bass made in Japan yes that’s how they spelled Squier lol it action is super low very fast low frets on the neck neck face is one piece
The tuner you are using. I have the same one? What the number on the bottom you had it on c.. it's needs to be on b…4 bass
ty!
Been piddling around playing guitar (and recently bass) for years, but I was never able to find any good basic explanation of how music works. This is at least a small part of what I was looking for, thanks!
I wish i found this video before I started tuning my bass ???? I didn’t realize you could break a string by tuning it too much so my E string snapped
i have sooo much to learn as i've been a drummer and still am for 20 plus years and always wanted to learn bass for about half that time. Just borrowed a bass from a friend who hasnt played in a long time
Very good advice Josh , I have popped a string before lol
Thanks!
Well played, but i've always used an A tuning fork. Is this alright or am i just a dinosaur.
Peace.
Hi Big fan here in the Philippine island, im learning a lot on your videos,, i love them and i learned good things and learning more the more i watch.. thanks for the awsome chanel..
Also, if you have to move the e string a lot, best to recheck the others, and that thick string can change the whole tension of the neck.
You are paining me when you keep tuning the g string to the high side.
Ahh, but WHY is there no sharp or flat between b/c or e/f, said the music theory channel rhetorically.
Thanks for the vid Josh. I got my first guitar/bass (lefty – Artist Guitar PB2L LH Black) today and this has been a great help for me. I used the Artist TN-50 clip-on tuner and did an OK job. I tried with my phone but that was off compared to the clip-on. I plugged the bass via a "guitar to USB cable" straight into a docking station (sorta direct) and then tuned it with the GTune VST in Bitwig Studio. Next stop, ear!
I also shared this video with my daughter who is starting back on electric guitar after 15 years. She was using her phone and was getting frustrated with the varying tuning. Her daughter grabbed the guitar on day one and tuned it by ear. Violin lessons paid off for her 😀
where did you get that cyruss bass// i look for 35 inch 4 string //left hand but suppose they intend to do it in 2021 but nothing was of it now i herd 2022,, but i feel if ,,still it s not going to be a one of cheapest neck thru non asia/korea but in usa /uk/ or japan range quality with reinforcemant in neck neck thru 35 inch and lol was under 2000 doll or marks or eu i donno //but this is no classic model //i remember oval inlays a other head design sharper ,,horns ,, or was that on rudy sarzo model alone i feel this is later than i look for cyrus / i look 1988to 93 period b i think
Probably should have watched this before I broke my G string XD ;-;
how do I find a tuner that's not a pedal? I went to electronics websites and only found clip-on and pedal tuners. I guess the pedals would count as plug-in but where else could i find one?
None of this was useful I understood none of this and my guitar is still not tuned can't even get it tuned with a tuner
Hi Josh
I've just bought my first ever bass (Squier PJ) and i've just come to realise my endless fret buzz may be to do with bridge set up and action height – they're all over the place like a toddler making a lego tower! I find your videos the best, most informative and non-patronising and non-showyoffy online so i wondered if you had a video already created on addressing this issue? Many thanks from Edinburgh, Scotland for the amazing content! 🙂
I rely on my mobile tuner alot becuase I can't afford a real tuner right now.
Also I have a Question.
How do I tune my bass 1/2 step down using a tuner in standard? Does -10 hertz go down a semitone? I really need to know if you know the answer please tell me.
This video is sooooo good and useful, the quality is amazing and the explanation is simple, you are doing good man
This is all very helpful!! I never understood any of this before
Some of your videos. is I know already so maybe i gonna skip.
For those who knows the music alphabets, skip to 4:00 for the tuning section.
Thank you. I just bought a new cheap bass guitar but I think my strings are way too high up the fretboard. Also from the time I tune my G string, my E string is already not in tune aymore… Just can't play it… So sad
