If your guitar tuner won't pick up the sounds of the open bass strings, try playing the 12th fret harmonic on each string instead. In other words, gently touch each string at the 12th fret while you pluck the string. It will make the sound one octave higher and your tuner should be able to pick it up and allow you to tune your bass.

Most newer tuners work fine with Bass Guitar, but back when I started playing 25 years ago, they only made guitar tuners and that's what I had to do.
