General

Korg's GA-50 is a digital tuner designed for guitars and bass guitars. This successor to the popular GA-40 offers accurate tuning via its built-in microphone or by plugging in your instrument. It has a number of improvements on board that include larger notes on the display making it even easier to read. The clip is more secure, the batteries now last longer and the battery compartment no longer has a removable cover that can easily get lost. These changes, in combination with the same reliable tuning and functionality as the previous model, ensure that the GA-50 will be just as popular as its predecessor.

Zo goed als het kan voor de prijs. Ik gebruik dit model al meer dan 20 jaar, heb deze gekocht om m'n oude te vervangen, die was er eindelijk mee opgehouden. Kijk niet verder :)

Goed afleesbaar en een prima prijs. Zeker handig voor bassisten met een lage B snaar. Heeft ook een gitaar / bas stand.

Prima apparaat voor een goede prijs. Geschikt voor zowel akoestische als elektrische (bas)gitaar (in standaard tuning) want heeft zowel ingebouwde microfoon als jack ingang.

Op zich een prima stemapparaat, heel eenvoudig en handig in gebruik, het batterijklepje zit vast en kun je eenvoudig naar beneden schuiven (en dus niet kwijtraken). Ik merk dat ik in het gebruik zelf toch de voorkeur geef aan de chromatische tuner van hetzelfde merk, net even wat meer mogelijkheden wanneer je met afwijkende stemmingen werkt (of bijv. een ukelele wil stemmen met dit stemapparaat dat bedoeld is voor gitaar/basgitaar). Maar voor deze prijs een uitstekend apparaat, dat je zowel met als zonder kabel gebruiken kan (ingebouwde microfoon).
