Bass Tuner Metronome

Hi there,

I am looking to get a metronome to keep my playing in time when i am practicing in my bedroom. I also want a tuner.

Can anyone recommend anything? Is it best to buy two seperate things or a combined thing? I was just having a look on ebay and there are some cheap items, I will attach the link, if anyone could tell me if its any good or not.

Any feedback will be much appreciated.

A separate, clicking metronome may be better than a beeping one.

I haven't tried that one but Cherub makes a really good one that's better than than the Boss and Korg models IMO. I use this one:

This thread should actually be in Misc. and not Effects.

Get a Korg pedal tuner to have an awesome tuner. A cheap metronome will do that job, but a good tuner is a good tuner.

Get a good tuner and an inexpensive drum machine. Playing with just a click gets old after a while. My after the kids go to bed practice rig is my Alesis DR16, Tascam Portastudio 424, i-pod and head phones.

Any idea what these are going to cost?

Zoom B2 mate. It's got a tuner, drum machine, headphone amp and tons of effects. I've just nabbed a second hand one for £25! I have a pedalboard for my live effects, but intend to use this as a headphone practice amp with drums as you describe. It may even go on my board if I like the effects enough for chorus/flanging/delay.
