The overdrive doesn’t work on my bass. The dual strum bar is really nice but that gets wiped out by the overdrive problem. The fret bar is much like the first generation rack band guitar except the unit is a bit bigger. Unless Mad Catz reaches out to customers about this issue (if its widespread) I recommend other people avoid this product and wait for the regular guitar to become available directly from Amazon.

The Cons:
1) It doesn’t work!!! I got this bass guitar controller for Rock Band 2 for Christmas, and the main buttons didn’t work at all. None of them. It was returned the next day and replaced, and the blue and red buttons didn’t work on that second one! This alone will make me advise anyone to skip on this controller and give it a one star rating. I’ve read several reviews on several sites that report the same problem–this seems pretty widespread. For a $70 peripheral, that’s just not acceptable.
2) Not wireless. As several other reviews have mentioned, this isn’t wireless. Why not? My band is tired of all the wires.
3) No wammy bar. The wammy knob looks really cool, but it is really difficult to access and play. Nice, authentic look, but not ergonomic or even well conceived for game play.
The Good:
1) It is a really nice size. I’m 6 foot 4 inches tall and many guitar controllers are too small to use and have really short straps. This is a good size.
2) The double pick up. The double strum bar is really cool, and the little notch above it makes it comfy to rest your hand. At least, I think it would be really comfy–I never got a chance to play this broken piece of junk before taking it back.
The Verdict:
Ultimately, skip this. Buy a wireless RB2 guitar and have fun instead of this piece of crap. We got the new drums with symbols, a new mic, and a new RB2 wireless controller for Xmas. Every one in my band rocked on on Xmas night with new instruments, but this think really ended up being a buzz kill.

This guitar isn’t as good as I expected it to be.
the longer neck only succeds in being more “wabbly” than the original because it’s made of the same material and not reinforced in any way. The headsock seemed loose too; at least moreso than the stock RB guitar.
The strumbar, while being very study and satisying, doesn’t work very well with the two-finger bass style it’s going for… the angle is off – For me, when i play a bass my hand is at an angle from where it sits on the guitar. but the strum bar on this is perpendicular like all the other RB guitar strumbars. This works great for normal play, but not well at all for the “bass style” play that the guitar is made for, using the thumbrest.
I returned this guitar after one day of gameplay.

the whammy bar or should i say knob is retardedly placed and hard to use mid note and so is the power knob but the over all look of it was kind of cool and the concept of the double strum was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
