Our long term relationship with Rock Band puts us in a bubble. People "discover" new stuff all the time. Maybe they just tried it at a friends house, who knows.

New members are nice to see. People being jerks for sport to new members is not. (Not saying you were of course, just sayin')

It was very obvious what the OP was talking about. Perhaps you need to brush up on YOUR comprehension skills.

Please don't just heckle new people for sport. Its a poor reflection on the community as a whole.

Thanks.

well then i guess i'm just dumb because it wasn't obvious to me at all. but thanks for letting me know that it's ok to insult your fellow forum members, but only if you're a mod.

That would be when you ask a clarifying question or skip the post altogether.

Failure to understand does not make you dumb, it just means you need more info. Suggesting you did not comprehend the question is not an insult, especially when you flat out say you did not understand at all.

This is all neither here nor there, my point is/was super simple.

Let's not be so quick to show the unwelcome wagon.

Keep rockin'


To the OP: The instruments take the number of batteries required to provide the proper voltage to operate and as Loopy pointed out, runtime requirements. Why the number varies has to do with the specific internals they are powering and I guess it goes without saying, that varies instrument to instrument.
