Mor(e)on the Tuner





The tuner thing is really starting to bug me. I'll be damned if I will carry around a plug for tuning...

I did a little research and found that Ibanez offers 3 models of its acoustic bass - AEB5E, AEB10E and AEB20E.  The 5 uses a AEQ202T tuner. The 10 and 20 appear to use a different tuner - a Fishman SST.
The SST has a 3 band EQ, a phase and shape setting plus a tuner that appears to work while not plugged in...

Looks like you may be able to find one used, but not cheap - $200 or so - and they have a different battery/output jack.

So upgrading the preamp wouldn't be an easy fix...
