Slower Downer

I did get a Tascam CD-BT1MKII and it is THE best tool for me to learn any kind of song as quickly as possible.

I joined a band and had to learn 60 songs in 10 days...and they played quite a few in different tunings. The Tascam CD-BT1MKII made all the difference. Best money I ever spent.

I still use it frequently for new songs as I can practice anywhere, at any time without bothering anyone else...or anyone bothering me.

Just bought one today, glad I did. pop in a set of headpones and your bass and thats it. I like the fact that it is portable also. fits in your gig bag. I heard good things about the slowdowner software also, but being in computer field and being around servers all day, its refreshing to be detached from them during my play time..
 
I just love that little Tascam unit.

Be warned though, it eats batteries like crazy. Aside from that, it's great for learning new tunes.

Being a network admin, I am around computers all the time too, so it's nice to get away from them.
