The only complaint that I have is that the bass parts are 5 buttons after you go to hard. I wish they would have keep it at 4 and just made it more difficult and made it more real. Other than that I think it great and I have had no problems.:(:D

I'll hope that you're not trying to bring up the age-old battle that an average bass guitar only has four strings and therefore there should only be four buttons. That argument is easily shot down with "Hey, don't you remember that a guitar has six strings, and still only has five buttons?" Just because there are only four strings doesn't mean that you don't use more than four frets. Mkay?

How is that more real? Strings =/= Fret Buttons.

yeah dude if you wanted to make it real then you should have 22 buttons. The buttons are made to represent the frets not strings.

The buttons on the guitar are frets, not strings.

Plus that basses have 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and very rarely 12 and 15 strings, not just 4 strings.

The thing everyone is missing here, is that there is only one string on the guitar. The buttons are frets. Basses have the same amount of frets as guitars.

Ugh. They're frets not strings. Play your tutorials people. Especially, ESPECIALLY, if you don't play these instruments and probably don't know what you're talking about anyway. No offense of course.
