                All the features are highly usable. Worth the money. I would have given it 5 stars if the tone quality weren't so much affected when its tempo is decreased to (-30) and slower; and, especially if the CD's bass can be boosted even more.

                  Comments about Tascam CD-BT2 - CD Bass Trainer:

                  The tempo and loop features are great and make it pretty easy to figure out bass lines. The ability to cut the CD bass is also pretty useful for adding your own bass fill. There are lots of other cool features like the built in tuner, flash back, headphone or line out options and some okay effects. It's cool that it it is portable and can run on just 4 AA's, but it's too bad the AC power supply is optional.
