It not only helped me master new playing techniques but also inspired creativity. Thanks for such a fantastic experience! ### 5/5 — Very useful app *2023-09-04* Clean interface and free ### 5/5 — Awesome app! Forget about buying those books with chords *2020-03-20* I was about to purchase a book with bass chords and shapes. Good thing I discovered this app first. Saved myself $20 and this is so much better then a book! ### 1/5 — Not for Bass *2019-10-27* This app can’t show bass chords! Even the basics! Skips intervals .... For example Bass Dm7: App Tab: 10 10 12 10 Instead of: Root | Flat 3rd | 5th | Flat 7th X 10 12 10 13 **Developer response:** Dear TrueGladiator! This program contains 66 bass guitar chords! It is unfortunate that she did not suit you. Obviously you need something simpler. ### 5/5 — Holy moly *2017-12-13* I have never written a review before but this app is amazing, I think will by the full version! ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-03-11* Perfect for learning chord tones and chords when you're on the road! Definitely recommend the full version. Potentially offer an upgrade at a discounted price from baseman chords to baseman modes (just saying) either way love the app! ### 5/5 — Wonderful bass chords app! *2011-12-25* Design is cute, also I can transpose chords into any key simply by dragging them left&right! Thinking about buying full version "bassman".. Cool!!! ### 1/5 — Bull *2011-12-21* This only has 38 chords, and they are all Bb chords. If this has a more of a variety of chords, I'd rate 5 stars. **Developer response:** You can select any chord key from the Chords Selector, as well as transpose chords on the fretboard by dragging the notes left or right with your finger. This free version has 40 different chords, in total 480 chords (incl. transposition). ### 5/5 — One of my top five apps. *2011-10-30* This app is a big help to me with my music I'm telling everyone ### 5/5 — Awsome *2011-06-17* All the apps I have seen for Bass Guitars just show a single note and/or useing tabs. This app is a great training tool. ## Frequently asked questions about Bass Chords LE ### How many chords does Bass Chords LE offer? Bass Chords LE provides 40 different bass guitar chords.
