"Works for me"
I've had one of these since they first came out. I play an Ibanez SGR1306 6-string bass, and the tuner is rock-solid on all six strings, including the low B. Easy to see nearly across the street. I've had the top off just to see inside and it's a quality build. Mine's been rack-mounted with a Yamaha PB-1 (gets warm) since I got it, dropped lightly a couple of times and has always worked fine...I've never had to contact the manufacturer for anything other than bugging them to ship it to me when it was finally ready.

I don't haven the money right now to buy a better tuner so I am stuck with it.
Sound
I wouldn't buy this tuner if I had the opportunity to do it again. I play bass. First, it will NOT register the B string on a 5-string bass. Second, it "freaks out" every so often - giving totally inaccurate tuning values. I have it mounted in a rack with dual fans so it is not an overheating problem. The one big plus is that you CAN see if from across the stage with shades on - I have worn shades onstage and believe me, this is true.
Features
5 string basses are becoming standard - any tuner should be able to tune the B string.
Quality
It doesn't do what it is supposed to do reliably - tune my basses.
Value
Buy something else if you can afford it.
Musical Style:
from punk to country
