## Description

BassTuner is a comprehensive Chrome extension designed specifically for bass guitarists seeking precision tuning and practice aid. It features multiple tuning modes including Half Step and Standard E1/A1/D2/G2 up to E2/A2/D3/G3, with an intuitive interface that allows users to select frequency and tuning settings easily. The auto noise filtering ensures accurate pitch detection for each string, showing whether the signal is high or low relative to the desired pitch.

Users can calibrate their tuning via piano settings, adjusting A4 frequency within a wide range from 428 to 452 Hz to match their instrument perfectly. The tuner shows pitch accuracy through a 10-quantile scale with clear color indicators. Additionally, BassTuner includes a full-featured metronome offering 18 beat modes from Grave to Prestissimo, beat subdivisions, pendulum display, and real-time playback for precise rhythm control. This extension is an excellent tool for bass players to enhance their tuning accuracy and practice efficiency.
