The Tascam MpBT1 I would call simply a "bass trainer" is an mp3 player + headphone amp + multi-effect for bass.
He also tuner and metronome.
This is a working tool extremely valuable and practical for work at home at any time of day and night: Once your songs back, you plug the bass on one side of the headphone and the other c is gone.
The "mp3 player" has many practical features (1GB of memory, speed variation and / or height, normal playback, file or playlist ...)
The "multi-effect" is well supplied and edited
The tuner works well
The metronome is correct
There is an effective backlight and the screen is very readable.
Many features are configurable.
At first I was hesitant of running time, but Tascam has scheduled a battery cut for the race.
A little regret for the power of the bass in the headphones, I would have liked stronger (after a while it saturates) but I imagine there standards not to exceed ...
Edit: With in-ear headphones, it's already much better than my headphone tired ... I use the Koss Sparkplug is terrible!
A fun and unexpected effect is that quickly puts the device in a pocket and hand it to play like crazy in the house as if we were in HF ... The tedious job of "home alone again" as soon takes a more scenic side!
I paid € 200 in December 2007. I wanted to work at night without my songs annoy family and without having to connect cables 10 .. (Before it was the mp3 player, its power supply, the headphone amplifier, its power supply and cables to connect it all the settings + levels not perfect ...)
There I a while and it works!
Edict of March 11, 2008:
I use it more and more I love this machine.
The function allows to pass a loop is very useful for deciphering a complex passage.
The booster function that the lower the piece is also heard a great help on some recordings.
This Bass Trainer is also extremely useful for an unexpected application: The test of an instrument in a shop.
Let me explain.
Previously, to test a seriously low on Board a tuner and I had to settle for an amplifier provided by the institution. Try an unknown instrument on an amp unknown, difficult to get an idea ...
There with the Tascam, I connect, I grant, I play on MY favorite sounds, on my music as a concert, so I really what to compare. In addition, playing with headphones, the seller leave me alone and I'm less bothered by the scratch playing Smoke on Ze Wateur 5 meters from me ...
No, I do not share from Tascam ...
Edit the April 15, 2008:
Following questions put to me by mail, two points:
- The Tascam only plays mp3 format 128bits / 44,100 kHz. Any other standard compression does not play.
- It is not possible to import playlists from a PC. The unique playlist of the Tascam should be created on the bike by hand. It puts the titles in the order in desired (eg that of the concert ...) even if the songs are stored in different files. We would have liked more playlists (I would have made a playlist for my group No1, another for my group No2, and a third involving the most difficult pieces ...)
He also tuner and metronome.
