Hey there I bought the Rickenbacker for the PS3 and since the first day I started using it every once in a while (during gameplay) my guitar goes off sync with the wireless receiver and then after a minute or so it turns back on. But then again, it goes off and back on.

Anybody have any ideas on what the problem and a possible solution could be??

Thanks in advance guys!

Batteries? Have you been playing around the clock or do you leave it on unknowingly? Try another set of batteries.

I think I now what's my problem now that I tried a few more things.. What I noticed is that if I try to play from a long distance then the sync will go on and off alternatively, BUT if I play really close to the receiver then the guitar works perfect.

Anybody know how can I solve this problem???

Stay closer to the console? How far away are you actually? A few ( < 5 (?)) meters shouldn't be a problem. And a different set of batteries or a play-and-charge kit might solve the problem.

And also, is there something else that might interfere with the signal?

Batteries. Get good ones. That helps. Other than that, yes, as said, make sure nothing is blocking the signal.

Cordless phones are known to effect the strength of signals for such devices. Or cell phones for that matter, and your Wi-Fi singal if you're running off a router.

Ok thanks, I'll try these things out..

But it sounds really strange to me since I have a GHWT guitar and RB1 guitar and those work smoothly :S

Hi, it's a bit off-topic, but can anybody confirm if the Rickenbacker works with the Slim? I just bought a Peak Starpex and that didn't work with my PS3. So now, I'm looking at buying a Rickenbacker instead. Thanks!
