Oh, and I ALWAYS keep a tuning fork with me. Just in case. No batteries, no readout, works in all light conditions.
The other thing about the Planet Waves clip-on is that the clips themselves are not very sturdy. I loved them when they came out- but I went thru 3 of them due to the clips breaking. I also went thru a few Sabines before I gave up on them. It wasn't the clip- they were just kinda slow and one had issues.. In my search I tried the mini-intellitouch which I like a lot. I've heard great things about the Snark and Peterson too.
