    Amazon.de claims a Sept. 27th release for RS. Smells like a European release may with-in the year. I'd hope they come right out with bass support just because it'll probably be ready by then.

    This is exactly how I feel. I too give credit to Rock Band for giving me the push to try it out, but Rocksmith makes me feel a lot more confident in learning how to play.

    On a side note, it almost seems like I can't give the Squier away. It seems like local music stores aren't interested and I get no responses on Craiglist. Oh well, maybe it'll collect dust as a novelty item. I can at least use it as a conversation piece to talk about how I first got into guitar.

    Have you tried ebay? Used ones are selling for $300+

    Yeah, the only problem is shipping something like this without the box gets pricey. Last I checked, it would cost almost $100 to ship.

    Just go to a music store and ask them for an empty shipping box!

    That's a good idea actually... the local music store in town is pretty chill, and I bet they wouldn't even think twice about letting one go.

    On a side note, I just entered a new event on Rocksmith, and I got Plug In Baby as one of my songs. It had an inordinately high qualifying score of 90,000 (my highest score being around 65,000). I decide to play it for practice, and I notice something bizarre. All the phrases are MAXED. The highest I have got the main riff to before was 75% using the riff repeater.

    While this caught me off-guard, I gave it my best shot. I netted a cool 82,500. Man, I love this game and its method of constantly trying to challenge me. I never dreamed after 5 months of playing I'd be getting 80-100,000 on over half the songs on disc.

    General consensus is that is B.B. King's guitar in the picture. If it is, I'd probably buy the DLC.
