portable metronome

[timmo]

Does anyone use a metronome for Bass, and can recommend one please?

[Roland Rock]

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.

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:

On the other hand, I use a Korg TM-40 tuner and metronome:

Haha, yes, in fact I have an old school pyramid type one too. 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.
Edit: and sharing them really quickly ;-)

And it has good features and a nice loud click and its not a bad price.

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

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 :-)

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.

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....
