also.. does this come with CDs to help learn the scales (memorize the triads, etc) or is it only good to learn actual bass lines?

No it does not. It is basically a CD player + practice headphone amp. I love it, because I can practice along with songs and it sounds like I am playing with the band.

Hi, I does not come with any CDs. You would need to buy them separate and load them into the Bass Trainer. It is excellent for learning bass lines by ear.
1832059
Hi, will you can transcribe ANYTHING you want really. It doesn't have to be just bass lines. It does not come with any CDs. Good luck.

This is strictly a CD player with some great added features. No training CD. I furnish the CDs I need to practice to. Pitch, speed, etc. can be changed to suit the need. My only complaint is that it does not have a Line input for devices such as MP3 players, etc. The previous version had one. Dunno why they eliminated it on this model.

It did not come with any CD's what I did was hunt down players I wanted to learn from on goggle , record their licks burn them to a CD ,slow it down and imitate them , I use old school books for mode triads and basic theory. If I had it to do over again I would buy the one that uses SD cards.

Lead and rhythm yes. Not sure about bass as I don't play bass, so I just checked and the good news is YES. Have fun

Depends what kind of outcome you are looking for. I use the bass patterns on this machine to provide a framework for developing lines to play along with the rhythm track. If you are asking this machine to be your stand in bass player that might be a bit cheesy.

In my opinion, I think it is a good beginner / intermediate player acordeon. It has the right sounds to get you started

Not gonna lie...i dont know if its better as ive never used the squier. I do know however it is better than a create gxr i believe it was. And yes, its great for beginners and advanced alike

It works just as well with bass, yes. I use exactly the same setup for guitar as bass, I just change the VST settings in Guitar Rig between bass and electric guitars. Hope that answers your question.

I have had a G5 since release and have made patches that will allow me to create simple bass sounds from a six string guitar. It is done with the Octave effect - The Zoom G5 can drop 1 or 2 octaves. You then have a ton of other effects you can add to it. But just to clarify, no guitar with any effects is going to sond like a real bass guitar. I use these patches mainly just to lay down a loop onto the G5's looper(with drums) to then play along with on guitar. It works very well for this.

Yes. It comes with a 5x7" bklt with directions and 6-8 old familiar songs to practice with.

I use my loop for all bass parts and it works great. I run guitar left 50 on main out, bass right 50 on main out, that way I have separate channels on my board. You have to make sure you record the start at the same time as the first track though to keep it is synch. My recorded bass is always correct, never forgets the arrangement, takes no cut, and never misses rehearsal. The 3rd channel is available for other parts. More recently I put down 4, 5,6, 7 or 8 tracks on my digital recorder, mix them down, and put on one loop. It frees up a lot of space on the loop, and it still sounds live.

It comes with everything, but from my experience the bass is close to non existent. If you need bass, i think this would be a grand disappointment.

The book shows the chords, including the chord patterns for soprano, concert and tenor. The book won't have the chord shapes for Baritone. However, if you know the chord shapes, this is a fairly small issue. I use the book all of the time, an the thing I like about it is that it has the music notation, which is helping me learn to sight read music on my ukulele. Also, there is a separate edition of this book available for baritone only.

Yes! It has over 400 rhythms with room for 499 or so.. It has rock, hard rock, jazz, blues, Latin, Reggae and African beats. It is challenging to get the Bass to play in something other than E Maj. If you want to play in min keys, you need to write the bass part yourself. I find the rhythms a little busy, so I edit them and save them to another location. Building rhythms is easy and with the FAST write mode you can string the rythyms together to make songs. It has 99 spaces for songs. There is a limit to it's memory but I have not hit it yet. AGAIN playing in any Key but E Maj can be frustrating and time consuming. I haven't found a short cut yet, although I am sure there is one. The instruction manual is 99 pages long and not everything about it is intuitive. Take an hour and read the manual (you have to down load it). It will save you weeks of banging your head... I forgot to tell you that it has different qualities of rhythms. You can leave it were it is which is good, or you can make the sample time faster. Faster sample time means less memory. It also has a swing setting, so if you are doing jazz you can adjust the "swing".

For a beginner yes, I believe it is for it has the correct weight and after learning a few chords it plays very well. I just like it for just being able to pick it up and play. When you improve graduate to the next.

I'm not an advanced guitar player- intermediate at best FYI. It comes just with an Allen wrench and some paperwork. It's fun to play, heavy for it's size. It was recommended to me by my good friend who is an advanced guitar paler to buy for my son, who's just learning. Only problem is that two of the stings are closer to each other than the rest, no a huge difference but noticeable. Plays very well.

Yes you can use a bass on this pedal. I practice on it with a P Bass. It's a great little practice pedal, not something I would hit the stage with though.

I have read yes and no. I chose the "safer" route and turned on my Integrated Amp for a couple hours then played 3-4 CDs at moderate levels. Since then, I have freely cranked it up to 11 :-) Great Mid & Highs!! Bass is ok.

Although I have a bass, I have never tried it through the G5...but I was thnking about it just last week. It is possible to get bass like sounds out of a guitar, but its not ideal. I was considering using a real bass to just layer in something with the looper function then switch back to 6 string for overdubs. I see no reason why the effects, EQs, compressors etc wouldn't work fine. I doubt you'd get much mileage out of the amp models and distortion stomps though - or the tube booster circuit. I guess it could be quite creative (with the z-pedal!), or it could be a reasonable tool for tailoring a sound...can't vouch for it just yet though I'm afraid.
