How to tune a bass or ukulele online

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Choose Bass or Ukulele in the tuner, then tune as you would a guitar. A 4-string bass uses E1, A1, D2, G2, the same notes as the guitar's four lowest strings but an octave lower. A standard ukulele uses G4, C4, E4, A4, where the G string is higher than the C next to it ("re-entrant"), which gives the ukulele its bright sound.
