How you can change the tension of a vibrating string?

To raise the pitch (frequency), put more tension on one end of the string. To lower the pitch, put less tension on one end of the string.For instance, on a guitar, tighten the string for a higher pitch. Loosen the string for a lower pitch.Additionally, if you have a guitar string already mounted and tensioned. You may place your finger in the middle of the string, and the pitch will go up one octave. Each time you halve a tensioned string, it produces a pitch one octave higher.

How do you use a guitar tuner for a bass?

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.
