Snark Guitar And Bass Vs All Instrument

Ideal if you play bass or guitar and sing. It gives you space from your instrument.

I am a guitar and bass hobbyist (actually a drummer / percussionist) and have always wanted to get a Snark since they are so easy to use (you don't have to plug anything in!) and they are so cheap; so why wouldn't you get one? I don't know what took me you so long--five years, but I finally got one and it has totally lived up to my expectations. Aside from tuning a guitar as soon as I pick one up, now I use it when I practice to see where I might be bending strings (again, I am not a guitarist, but if I were a guitar teacher I would recommend using it as a training tool). I have only been using it on Squier guitars and basses, which only have a light varnish on the headstock so be careful when using on Gibsons, acoustics or anything else with a sensitive finish. I am also excited to use it to check the timbre of my drum shells to know the actual note of the shell before I put heads on. I decided on the ST-2 since it allows you to turn off the vibration detection and use the built in microphone so I could even use it to check the notes of cymbals, triangles, glockenspiels, etc. I also wanted it for the built in metronome, but a little flashing light is not really worth it for me (as a drummer I have got to HEAR a pulse). For 10-15 dollars, why would you NOT have a Snark?

I use this as the instrument cable for my bass guitar and it really lets the natural tone of my bass shine through. The signal comes out very clear and without any buzz or hum of any kind. The cable itself is very sturdy as well. Only possible gripe on my part about this is that the metal connector on the gold plug tends to twist loose by itself once in a while but it's no big deal. The cable itself is amazing. And the lifetime warranty is a sweet deal as well!

Perfect for recording acoustic guitar, or pretty much any instrument. ...

Purchased 2 snark tuners, one for my granddaughter who is learning guitar and one for me so I have an extra one. They are the best! Easy to use and a good price. Highly recommended.

...so far anyway! I own 3 Ibanez bass guitars, 1405e , tbt705 and tbt706. I always found other tuners (snark in particular) fail to pick up low B. I had to use harmonic at 12 fret to tune my B string with all other tuners. Not anymore! This Tunano tuner picks it up right away. Its small, unobtrusive, very responsive, no moving parts to fail. Great design concept. Very happy bass player!

First off, B&H have some of the best prices and quick shipping! As for Snark, very confusing website as to which to choose....guitar and bass or all instrument ones. No great definition as to which you should buy and all with $1 or $2 range. The plus is which ever you choose, you will not be disappointed. I am very pleased with the SN5X for my bass. Some do have a built in mic which would help with horn instruments. Don't wait like me, buy it now and from B&H.

2/3 of a stop is a good value for my needs. the full stop was too much and 1/3 not enough at all.

A real gem, realistic bass instrument. Love it!

I use these mics on my grand piano, my guitar, and my violin. I would definitely recommend them as an instrument mic pair.
