Why does this bass sound out of tune while plying GH WT. It sounds perfect with RB1-2.

@Cialny,

Thanks to answer your questions It works great when upstrumming thanks to the design it is meant to be used that way and works better then when just strumming the bars downward only.

It will work with GHWT but since GHWT uses that sensor bar it’s a bit differnt but if you play a lot should have no issues. I have used it a lot and no signs of things going wrong. Also the overdrive you would either tilt the bass or hit the back button it’s easir to do since it’s more of a two toggle switch you just twist it and it kicks in.

HI,
Really good review.
But I have a big question
Will it work with GHWT? And is it difficult to down strum only? Because I’m not used to it, but I want a good guitar… I have only the GHWT guitars and I broke 3 of them (constant playing – some sessions about 8 hours non stop ) and I want a guitar that won’t die in 2 months. And the pain is bigger, cuz I’m from POLAND and I can’t get a RB2 wireless guitar (heard it is really better).

Nice review… I just bought the guitar myself.

I was upset at first that it was not wireless, I was thinking of returning it but I played it for a while and I do like the feel of it, I also like the size, doesn’t feel like I’m playing a ukulele like the guitar hero guitars!

So after trying it out and reading your review… I beleive I will keep it. I just wonder why didn’t they make it wireless, it’s so much better!

@Kyle,
Glad you found it helpful. I can understand when people misread or missunderstand something. The only reason I did not change it was the reason you mentioned I was refering to the fender bass. Also I do check things beofre writing and while there are basses out there with whammy bars and made in a 5 or even more string models. I was talking about the standard bass guitar. I hope you enjoy it and let me know how you like it when you get it.

I believe when you used “Bass never has a whammy bar,” it appears to readers that the comment is referring to ALL basses. Not just a basic Bass guitar.

You could reword it into saying that “the real Fender Precision Bass doesn’t have a whammy bar.” To my knowledge. a four string fender p-bass does not have a whammy. I’m just saying that is how Nick thinks the original comment was misleading.

ANYWAYS! I’ve found this review helpful, thank you for writing it I’m getting one for christmas.

@Nick,
You can get a Bass with a Whammy bar but most are made without one. I do know about basses thank you. While I appreciate your comments I do not just write things without checking or having knowledge of it.

You can buy them with a whammy bar and now you can buy them in ways you used not be able to. The comment was refering to a basic bass. Nothing more and if that is all you had to say after reading the review then great. I am sorry if the comment was not as clear as you would have liked.

Im sorry but you dont know anything about the bass. A bass can easily have a whammy bar and a lot do. You should look up things like that before you post false information.
