Tascam CDBT1mkII Portable CD Bass Trainer

Tascam CDBT1mkII Portable CD Bass Trainer
These are Great, Just add any cd an Play!


Product Description

From Rhonda Smith to Reggie Hamilton, it's hard to find a professional bass player who doesn't travel with a CD-BT1. Its successor now features Bass Enhancement including Bass Cut and Bass Boost, more variable speeds, built-in metronome, more controls accessible by footswitch and much more.

Easy to Learn and Use
"The CD-BT1mkII is a must-have for me. It's great in the studio, dressing room, backstage, bus, plane... If you practice with an amp, the CD-BT1 is a fantastic addition." Reggie Hamilton

If you can operate a CD player, you can use the CD-BT1mkII. Take any standard compact disc by your favorite band and put it in the CD mechanism. Then plug your bass directly into the CD-BT1mkII's 1/4" input. Put on some headphones, set the volume, and start rocking! If you're a vocalist, you can do the same, substituting your microphone for the guitar.

Slow Down and Learn with Slow Speed Audition feature.
In ancient times (like the 1970s), musicians would take a vinyl LP record and manually spin the record on a turntable, slowing it down to be able to better hear and understand the performances, like bass solos and complex chord changes. With the CD-BT1mkII, you get a training method that's even better. Not only can you slow down the speed of the CD by up to 50%, but you can do it without changing the pitch of the original material! After you learn the lick at a slow speed, you can increase the tempo in steps until you can match the original performance note for note. Also, you can change the pitch of the CD without changing the speed...use this feature to "tune the CD" to your instrument.

  • Tascam CDBT1mkII Portable CD Bass Trainer




  • Effect Yourself
    The CD-BT1mkII has 16 great-sounding built-in customizable bass effects...you don't need to turn to external boxes for chorus, EQ and more. The Bass Boost and Enhance settings allow you to boost the bass part so that you can hear it better, and Bass Cut lets you mute the original so you can play along.

    Performance Tools
    You can set seamless in-out loop points with the CD-BT1mkII...it will play the same section of music over and over again so you can focus on your playing. Use the footswitch input (footswitch not included) to start and stop the CD, or to scroll through effects. The CD-BT1mkII even provides a chromatic tuner so you always sound great when you play, and can run on batteries to take your show on the road. You can listen to the CD-BT1mkII via headphones, or use its Line Output to plug in speakers.

    There's never been a better or more affordable bass training tool than the CD-BT1mkII.

    Line 6 LowDown LD300 Pro Bass Guitar Amplifier 15 Inch 300 Watts

    Line 6 LowDown LD300 Pro Bass Guitar Amplifier 15 Inch 300 Watts
    We all know how good Line 6 equipment is, Well, I had the Pleasure of playing through a 300 watt model, What a treat! Here is a little copy from AmericanMusical.com


    Line 6 LowDown LD300 Pro Bass Guitar Amplifier 15 Inch 300 Watts


    Line 6 LowDown Bass Amplifiers, their first ever line of bass amps, delivers an incredible array of dialed-in, stage-perfected bass tones.
    While most bass combos focus on volume and clean tone, LowDown amps offer five must-have effects and five killer bass amp models, that cover everything from funk to classic rock and beyond. Plus, the oversized, high-speed power amp has incredible articulation and bottom end punch that’s ideal for live or studio work.

    Finally, there’s a line of bass combos that give you great tone, performance, and flexibility all at an incredible price.



    LowDown Amp Models
    LowDown™ delivers five carefully crafted amp models that can take you from modern punch to a thunderous, full-on assault! Each model automatically dials up a great sound that you can change to your liking and save into a preset using the channel memories on the front panel.

    Clean – Inspired by* the Eden Traveler, this model is all about clean, funk and fusion bass tone. It’ll give you all the warm lows and punchy highs you need.
    R & B – Inspired by* a 1968 B-15 Flip Top, this model is a tribute to those late 60’s and early 70’s clean fat bass tones. It is the kind of tone you hear on most Motown recordings, as played by a pioneering young James Jamerson.

    Rock - This model is inspired by* the ’74 Ampeg® SVT®. This workhorse has appeared on innumerable recordings and arena stages worldwide. And now all the tone of the 300-pound behemoth 8X10 and head is available in your combo!

    Brit - Based on a ’68 Marshall® Super Bass, this model delivers the kind of overdriven bass sound brought to us by late ‘60’s British rock pioneers like Cream and The Who.

    Grind – As the name would suggest, this is for modern rock lovers, Alice in Chains to Mudvayne and Rage Against The Machine. Based on* a distorted SansAmp PSA-1 into an SVT® in addition to a direct clean bass signal mixed in, this model gives you that angry, clear and punchy aggression that takes your sound to DEFCON 1.

    But that’s not all...

  • Bass Amps At Zzounds




  • Synth – Sitting at the back of the model knob is this secret weapon that turns LowDown into a ’70s classic bass synth. From funk to modern rock, this synth model delivers incredible tones and tracks every dynamic move you make with ease!


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    LowDown Effect Models
    LowDown™ features a critical set of effects that no bass player should be without! You get a full time, vintage studio compressor model, and the Smart FX knob dials up three different heavyweight effects that are custom tailored for bass.

    Envelope filter – Based on* a Q-Tron, this is the baddest envelope filter on the planet. This effect can be heard on tons of major funk and rock tunes.
    Octaver – Based on* the EBS® OctaBass®, this effect produces a single note one octave below the pitch of the played note, adding a powerful new vibe to your sound.

    Chorus – Based on* the much loved TC Electronics Chorus. This is the most transparent, smooth and expressive chorus for bass ever built. Using it does not reduce your low end and it’s especially beautiful on fretless bass.

    Amazing Tone On Stage and In The Studio!
    The XLR Direct Output was designed for recording or sending your sound to a house sound system when you’re playing live. This output utilizes our exclusive A.I.R. processing which has made Line 6 products like POD® the undisputed standard for direct recording. Whether you’re playing a gig in a club or rushing off to a recording session, this POD-based direct out will give you huge, mic’d amp tone everywhere you go!


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    LowDown Bass Amplifiers F.A.Q.

    LowDown 175 and 300 has a horn, can I turn it off?
    The LowDown amps include a horn for all the great players that like to slap their basses or value some extra articulation. However, being sensitive to the rock players in our midst, we made a special provision to disable the horn by pressing the small "Horn" switch located near the XLR Direct out jack.
    Is there a ground lift on the XLR direct out so I don't get hum from the PA?
    Every once in a while you may experience a ground loop problem which sounds like a buzz in your signal, when connecting gear to a PA system. If this happens to you, simply alert your sound person, and try pressing the ground lift switch. Usually this will eliminate the ground loop.

    Is the LowDown cabinet ported?
    Yes! The LowDown cabinet uses a proprietary waveguide port designed to enhance sub resonant bass frequencies.

    What is the deal with active and passive inputs?
    A “passive” instrument has no built-in preamp and does not use a battery. An “active” bass utilizes a battery-operated preamp. Each type of instrument has a different signal level range, so we have included two inputs to best address each input range. The funny thing is that some passive instruments can produce more signal that many active instruments, so here's what we recommend: Start by using the passive input. If your bass’ output distorts the input section (the Tuner LED will momentarily light to indicate when you're clipping the input), switch to the active position.

    What is the difference between the direct out on my "your bass amps name here" and the LowDown's direct out?
    The LowDown features Bass POD® style "Miked Up" Cabinet Emulated direct outs. That means you get the same tone coming out of your amp going to tape or to the sound system. Most bass amps with a direct out simply offer your original bass tone or your tone after amp eq, but LowDown is the only amp to offer real sounding amp AND cabinet tone.

    I like to keep things simple. I only use one tone. Is LowDown for me?
    LowDown is a toneful alternative to some really expensive, and tremendously heavy vintage and modern bass gear. If all you want to do is play one sound, get to "Manual" mode by simply pressing the active Channel button to turn off the LED. Now you’re in the land of "What You See Is What You Get". Turn knobs, then groove.

    What should I do if I get my foot stuck in the port?
    To date we have tested Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Pam®, Bag Balm and Cod Liver Oil, all of which we recommend as excellent lubricants for bass port pediectomies.

    Why would I want the LD300Pro over the LD175?
    While the LD175 will have no problem keeping up with your drummer in a rehearsal or small gig setting, the LD300 Pro can annihilate most drummers.

    Tell me about the grind model.
    As the name would suggest, this is for you modern rock lovers, Alice in Chains to Mudvayne and Rage Against The Machine. This model is based on* a distorted SansAmp PSA-1 into an SVT® with direct clean bass signal mixed in for that angry, clear and punchy aggression that takes your sound to DEFCON 1.

    Rickenbacker 4003 Bass Guitar

    Rickenbacker 4003 Bass Guitar
    Rickenbacker has Allways made a fantastic bass, here is some info from zzounds.com

    In the short lifetime of electric string instruments, very few basses have earned the accolade necessary to genuinely call themselves "classics." Even less can claim the title of industry standard — but no one can dispute the fact that the Rickenbacker 4000 Series deserves these titles. The piano string-like ring, punch, and sustain brought the bass player out of the shadows and into the spotlight.

    Entire new dimensions of bass playing capability are directly attributable to this venerable series. Rickenbacker basses are still handmade in America, using traditional methods refined and honed since Adolph Rickenbacker put his first electric guitar in service at the United States Patent Office almost 70 years ago. Experienced craftsmen lovingly oversee every detail of production. No robots, no computerized machinery — just human hands and eyes, backed by a determination to make, quite simply, the best products possible.

  • Get Your Rickenbacker Bass Here!








  • Combination Tailpiece and Bridge Assembly
    Nestled into a massive metal tailpiece, the height adjustable bridge reflects the maximum string energy back as extra punch. Individually saddled strings have generous intonation adjustment range. A variable mute assembly hides out of the way until called upon; each side adjusts separately. Strings are easily threaded through the end of the tailpiece for rapid changes.

    Internationally Acclaimed Pickups
    Traceable back to Rickenbacker's original 1928 patent, this bass pickup is renowned for unbelievable clarity and wide range response. Both pickups on the 4003 models are single coil, hum protected designs with high power output, while the new 4004 models incorporate Rickenbacker's latest high output humbucking pickups. Adjustment screws lower and raise units to player's preference.

    Ultimate Control
    The toggle pickup selector may be used to switch from one output channel to the other, or both. Each 4003 bass has separate treble and bass tone controls and separate pickup volume controls. The control knobs were selected not only for aesthetic reasons, but also for visibility in typical low light situations.

    Dual Rod Neck-Through Body
    Always the hallmark of a Rickenbacker, the neck runs the full length of the bass; string tension remains entirely on one laminated wood assembly. The result is a lifetime of accuracy of alignment, plus markedly superior sustain and tone. All bass necks have 2 field replaceable truss rods, allowing for each side to be adjusted separately.

    A Balanced Neck and Body System
    Instantly recognizable, the fluidly sculptural body and head shape serve primarily to establish proper instrument balance. One of the thinnest and fastest necks around plus an ergonomically accurate body contour mean easy playing without fatigue. Full cutaways permit access to the highest frets without strain and a conventional tail shape permits stable storage in a stand between sets.

    Bass Tuning Keys
    The keywinds are superbly crafted to microscopically fine tolerances. As a result, gear backlash and slippage are virtually eliminated. All components are completely removable for cleaning or maintenance and finished to a superlative smoothness, fully protected from hard use or abuse.

    All Round Protection
    A deluxe molded hardshell case is included with each Rickenbacker bass. Plush lined and form fitted, these hard wearing cases feature an accessory pocket, heavy-duty hardware, and extra padding.
