A review I read said you can't turn off the bass on the preset drum beats &amp; that you can't tune the bass to key you play a song in. Are these correct?

I would check an online manual here. http://www.manualslib.com search for Alesis SR-18 manual and look on page 16, it says you can transpose. Nothing about turning the bass off, but I'm sure you can turn it down to zero. I don't know if this applies to the presets or just the user patterns.

So, there are conflicting answers here. Manufacturer says yes it is bass ready with no add-on required and a customer bought it and shows the $9.99 bass add-on screen shot. Which is correct here? Seems it should come ready for both being nearly 2 times the guitar only cost. Would like to buy this but another ten bucks is pushing it and being misled by the manufacturer is not good customer service. I understand that the game likely has the bass lines and other programming built into the songs unlike the guitar only game. So does this add-on cost more or not?

They aren't really tuned but they do make sound. No you cant tune the drum/tambourine it comes as is. The cymbals sound like two pots hitting together but for little ears you really don't need it to be the loud sound of real ones. My kids love the Bells (me not so much anymore) :)

It should not give you any trouble tuning a bass. I don't personally play bass but as long as it is first in your chain it should handle a bass just fine as Korg advertises it as a guitar/bass tuner. I hope that helps.

Yes you can, takes just a little practice to get a feel for the snare.... Placement of the drums was important to me, once I got it where it worked the best, we have no problems at all... They sound pretty good too, and takes up a small foot print in the house... Oh when the kids play I can turn down the volume which I really like... Don't cheap out on the amp.... We bought a mid size Ampeg bass amp. and it's perfect... Hope this helps, good luck!

It increases or decreases bass levels, its a great option if you listen to different music genres! I love the increased bass option as I am a drummer and can 'turn up' the drums to better hear what's going on in a song. The sound quality is wonderful with these!

I'm not sure if the sub can be turned entirely off, but there is a Night Mode. I use it when others are sleeping, and it works just fine by significantly lowering the bass.

Yes. Send it back and ask for a refund... same problem here... sent my bass back. Waited a month still no bass. Asked for a refund... still waiting... get a refund asap

Just like someone else said, it's hard to tell the difference between individual levels but it definitely makes a difference between the highest and lowest level. Just put something bass heavy on and adjust all the way up and down. I leave mine on max as that is barely adequate.

There is a "Night Mode" button that greatly reduces the bass but does not turn it off completely. I use it quite often when others are sleeping.

the bass in "normal" mode is deep but balanced. there's also an deep bass mode which is off the charts, especially for music. you can add a sub, but i don't see a need for it.

You can get a generic "thump" plugging straight in, but it's not very good. You'll need a controller to get any decent sounds. I picked up a used Yamaha DTXpress for $125. Well worth it. The variety of sounds is incredible, and you can add more triggers for other drum sounds. I wound up exchanging my KP65 for the silent pedal KU100. Very happy with it, but I'm a bass player, so I never knew a real bass drum pedal.

This is not the loudest Metronome and its loud enough for me, but I used it to play my Double bass with is a loud instrument, the beat is a computer not wooden beat, with i love from it, its that is a great multitask device, with the tuner and the play back is amazing, but i don't know if you are going to be taking advantage of those features, since is for playing piano.RubenEdit: I agreed with John

bass is bassy, it does vibrate the headphones, but not too much that it is annoying.They're basically a complete rip-off of Beats by Dre. They're just cheaper and have more features.

I have mine set at 60,0" phase and ~100hz on bypass and I've had no problems. What amp are you using to drive it? I listen to lots of heavy bass music and can easily drive myself out of the room if I crank my amp so the question is--? what do you want to do the heavy lifting. The amp or the sub?

I'm hardly a wizard but it appears that you can set (1) an instrument emulator (bass, seven string, etc) or not (2) a stomp box or not (3) an amp and (4) an effect or none. You can't stack effects/stomp boxes with just the amp.

i sold this sub. incredibly awesome sub. and i kinda had your problem. you have to fine tune the sub with your receiver. distance settings, double bass setting if you have it. basically have your receiver get all the bass to go to the sub and amplify the sub through the receiver as well. if your not using a receiver, then your doing it wrong bro. otherwise just mess around with the settings on BOTH sub and receiver to find the perfect sound.
