TASCAM MP-BT1 Portable MP3 Bass Trainer
The MP-BT1 is an MP3 player designed for the bass . Modeled on the award-winning CD-GT1mkII guitar trainer, this MP3 version is a fantastic learning tool. The MP-BT1 has enough memory to store up to 240 songs. Bass parts can be slowed down, looped, and even eliminated to help you learn new riffs. Variable Speed Audition lets you slow tempo without changing pitch. Sections of songs can be seamlessly looped for efficient work on tricky passages. Songs can even be pitched up or down so you don't have to re-tune for every song.
The bass input lets you rock along with thick overdrive and multi-effects, and a bass canceller removes recorded bass parts allowing you to be the bassist for your favorite bands. A tuner, metronome, and rechargeable battery are also built-in. All of this is packed into a stompbox size device smaller than a stomp box, so can stuff it your gig bag and go.
The MP-BT1 uses a high-speed USB connection to load up MP3s and charge the built-in battery. 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.

The Tascam MP-BT1 is a great, portable, lightweight device you can plug your bass into and get great sounds out of immediately. I own this and the CD version and this MP3 version is lightweight and works for hours on one charge making it very transportable. Fits in any case or gigbag. Like the CD version, you can dial in any EQ setting and add hundreds of effects to your sound if you like, but the real treat is either learning the bass parts or taking out the bass parts and playing along with favorite songs or ones you want to learn. Only drawback is you need to input specific format MP3's which I think need to be sampled at 128K. those all seem to work, but once you get the hang of it, it is easy! Plug in a great pair of headphones or any earbuds and rock out ALL NIGHT LONG. You'll never disturb anyone and you can crank it up! I have over 100 songs on mine and love plugging in to this and it works even when we have power outages. SUPER versatile and has a great sound of its own. Highly recommended.
