Great piece of kit
Recently I played a gig where I needed that low D, just for one song section. So I ordered myself the D-Tuner to go on my old Warwick, set it up in no time and after a little tweak, got it bang in tune. Worked perfectly!
I also play in a band where half of the songs are in drop D, no more faffing about tuning after each song! It's great. Well built, accurate, reliable and easy to fit and use.

Adds an Extra Dimension to Your Bass
The Hipshot D-Tuner is admittedly expensive, but is a precision piece of engineering.
I need to play notes below low-E for a number of different genres, but could never get the hang of a five-string bass. This device suits my purposes perfectly. It comes with clear, concise instructions and is easy to fit.
In use, it is simply a case of flipping the lever to drop the fourth string to D. Its operation is accurate and stable.
I found it so useful that I bought another for my fretless bass. This has the added advantage of facilitating parallel octaves across the second and fourth strings.
Recommended.

Essential
I can't remember when I've last bought a bass that didn't get one of these right away. Simple installation and setup, very reliable (d)tuning. Probably could be half the price though, it's a bit of a liberty asking this much. That being said, I haven't seen any comparable alternatives to it.

a staple
I can only agree with all the other reviews. All I can add is that I use it to drop from D Standard to C with fairly heavy gauge Strings. Im confident you could fit this on a Fivestring to trop the B-String into oblivion. Also beware of Warwicks and basses with little clearance between the tuners. On my korean corvette i have only a hairs width of space between the D tuners lever and the neighbouring tuner when the tuning is dropped. Getting a double stop lever or dropping more than two half steps is out of the question. This shouldnt be an issue on more traditional headstock designs though
