timmo Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Does anyone use a metronome for Bass, and can recommend one please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 As far as I'm aware, metronomes are pretty universal, and there are no bass specific ones. If you want really portable, download a free app on your phone. There are android and iOS ones available. I use one called Pro Metronome, which is great.

Grangur Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) This one's not portable in the sense that you can use it on the bus, or in Tesco. But I don't supose you do that with your bass much either. If, however, you need a metronome anywhere you have access to a PC then here's one: [url="http://www.studybass.com/tools/online-metronome/"]http://www.studybass...line-metronome/[/url] On the other hand, I use a Korg TM-40 tuner and metronome: [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Korg-Metronome-Tuner-Combo-Folding/dp/B003J5DEQA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1367097110&sr=8-2&keywords=korg+tm+40"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Korg-Metronome-Tuner-Combo-Folding/dp/B003J5DEQA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1367097110&sr=8-2&keywords=korg+tm+40[/url] (Other retailers are also available) Edited April 27, 2013 by Grangur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 OK, thank you.I looked at that one, plus i was interested in this [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Korg-KDM2-Orchestra-Metronome-Sounds/dp/B001EWN72Q/ref=pd_sim_sbs_MI_4"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Korg-KDM2-Orchestra-Metronome-Sounds/dp/B001EWN72Q/ref=pd_sim_sbs_MI_4[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking that nothing is more portable than an app, which he will need if he's out and about, taking pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Junkyard Rocket Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) I use a Wittner super mini which is much nicer than an app or electronic one which beeps They're not cheap, but a plastic-cased version is also available Edited May 2, 2013 by Junkyard Rocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I've got a Korg MA-30, cheap, does everything you need a metronome to do and can be plugged into a PA to keep unruly drummers in order if necessary :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill F Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Apps a perfect for your need. You just need to find a good one. I use for my guitar: "Cadenza: Tuner+Metronome". Seems to work pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westie9 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I've got an old wooden oak pyramid one in my music room. I never use it but it looks great against all the LEDs etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
