GB-10 : easy trainer

Have had this gadget for two weeks only and still finding out how to work it! The handbook is 97 pages long and seems very detailed and for non techno types like me a little daunting- BUT it just needs to be digested slowly, a little at a time. As a complete beginner to the Bass guitar this gadget has allowed me to download my tutorial CD's ( and one or two simple songs) and play along with them at a speed I can handle. Although I now have access to an amplifier I am able , with the Tascam, to HEAR my bass and practice without annoying the family and neighbours with, or without, it. The unit works fine, and is loud enough, used alone. Another reviewer has stated that a backlight would be good, and I agree. The only downside to this Tascam is the poor quality of the screen image - I suppose we have got used to seeing everything crystal clear, and in colour - and this screen is a little disappointing. But hey, we bought the thing to train, play along with our favourite tracks and record our efforts (!) and for that it works fine. Its a brilliant tool for not a lot of money. Go get one today. You won't regret it.
