The Ant Commandos' Wireless Bass Guitar For Guitar Hero, Rock Band
Posted by Jason Chen at 5:30 AM on June 25, 2008
One of our main complaints about playing bass on Guitar Hero or Rock Band is that the guitars aren't bass guitars. The Ant Commandos, a company that specialises in making cheaper versions of video game accessories, has just released a wireless PS2/PS3 bass guitar. It doesn't solve the problem of not being able to double-strum with two fingers, which the Mad Catz version does, but it is long necked like a real bass. The Widow Maker is available now for $US69.

Most, not all.

@Mike918: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... its so funy when people say FAIL in all caps. I just love it. It never gets old.
I'm all for the bass being represented, but give us a warwick shape or a musicman... the fender style is just too overdone.

Most bass guitars also don't feature whammy bars or five strings (or in this case I suppose it would be buttons). Maybe I'm too much of a purist (read: stubborn a-hole).

I've been anxiously waiting for these to come out, but I was hoping the price would drop a bit more. I do need a 2nd guitar for both Guitar Hero and Rockband for my PS3, but for $70, is it worth it?
