Customer reviews about Hipshot BT-7 D Tuner Nickel

A

Great tool!

Anonymous 30.12.2014

I put this on my MIM jazz bass to add some versatility and out of some curiosity and I was pleasantly surprised because it actually works!
For some reason it seemed far too good to be true but its not and I use it all the time.

It saves a lot of hassle on stage if you can only use one bass and it also looks really cool!

The installation was a little tricky as I didn't use the screws that came with it when installing but the screws that were in the bass to begin with but as soon as I noticed my mistake it was a quick fix and it worked straight away.

My main issue with it is that tuning the xtended range note can be a bit of a pain until you get the hang of it.

Adds an Extra Dimension to Your Bass

JimB 07.12.2016

The Hipshot D-Tuner is admittedly expensive, but is a precision piece of engineering.

I need to play notes below low-E for a number of different genres, but could never get the hang of a five-string bass. This device suits my purposes perfectly. It comes with clear, concise instructions and is easy to fit.

In use, it is simply a case of flipping the lever to drop the fourth string to D. Its operation is accurate and stable.

I found it so useful that I bought another for my fretless bass. This has the added advantage of facilitating parallel octaves across the second and fourth strings.

Recommended.

Good

For changing on the fly the hipshot d-tuner is amazing! i play in a function band and have to switch between E & D tunings in an instant. My only gripe is that it can be hard to get used to tuning it properly, its hard when you switch down to d to get used to adjusting the screw and not reaching straight for the tuning peg, but that's just habit and when you are used to tuning it holds its tune excellently. A great addition to my deluxe p-bass special.

nice gadget

Sebastian365 24.05.2021

installed on my fender player precision 4 string i modify for fun it was easy to install and is a nice addon to fast switch to dropped d tuning. keep in mind that it will also have an effect on the strings (slightly detuned) other than the e string, because it lowers the tension of said string. but the same would happen if you would tune your e string to d only and not retune the others string afterwards. if you are ok with this and are willing to pay this price, you get a nice quality gadget to play around and have fun with.

does what it says it does

nidzo 08.06.2024

this was easy to install and works well (i was low key surprised that it actually worked). i was also surprised that it holds the tuning pretty well on the dropped note (i even replaced strings and after tuning them the dropped note was in tune)
