Tascam MPBT1 MP3 Bass Trainer

The Tascam MPBT1 MP3 Trainer is based on the award-winning CD-BT1mkII, this fun mobile bass trainer includes enough memory to store up to 240 songs.
Bass parts can be slowed down, looped and even eliminated to help you to learn new riffs. Play back MP3s using Variable Speed Audition, which slows down the speed without changing the pitch, and sections can be seamlessly looped while practicing tricky passages. Songs can even be pitched up or down to match the tuning of your bass, so you don't have to re-tune for every song.

Put 240 songs in your gig bag with the MPBT1, the first MP3 player for musicians.

The bass input lets you to rock along with multi-effects, including a bass canceller so you can play along with your favorite bands. A tuner, metronome, and built-in rechargeable battery are also built- in. All of this is packed into an MP3 player smaller than a stomp box, so stuff it in your backpack, gig bag or back pocket and hit the road.

The MPBT1 uses a high-speed USB connection to load up MP3s and charge the built-in battery (an optional power supply is also available). Zip through your MP3 collection using a data wheel, dedicated buttons and a graphical LCD display. A rechargeable 9-hour lithium ion battery is built into the unit, and an optional power supply is also available.

Subject:Incredibly useful practice tool!
Quality: This thing seems to be very well built. The wheel is a bit cheesy feeling but has held up fine so far.
Features: Being able to load up the music you want to practice to and then being able to dial in a bass tone that you can hear in the mix is a huge plus...and the purpose of this thing.
Sound: Playback of music and bass tones are fantastic!
Playability and Feel: There is definite heft to this little guy but that only lends to the feeling that this thing is solid...rock solid.
Tone: Very clear and well defined reproduction.
Finish: Brand new. Cosmetically perfect.
Action: The buttons click audibly and have a positive feel to them. The wheel takes a little getting used to but works fine once you get the hang of it.
