Fantasy Guitar Hero controllers aren't new territory for April Fool's Day, but rarely have we wanted one to be real so badly. Imagine the class, the prestige of striding into the neighboring dorm with GAME's massive double bass controller slung over your back! Imagine how angry your significant other would be when you tried to explain it to him or her!
Also we love the feature bullet points like "Doesn't fold away for easy storage,""May facilitate escape from villains. On ski slopes," and "Fully compatible with Guitar Hero II, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, Rock Band and the slopes of Val d'Isere." Well done, GAME ... now, could you actually make it?
[Thanks, Zak]

I'd buy it if it were real. It's a sexy sexy bass.

Stop playing games with my heart!
Man that would be sweet. Though with an upright bass shouldn't it be Guitar Hero: Brian Setzer?
This would go great with Sousaphone Hero!

I remember that Foxtrot had a comic about this, Chamber Music Hero.

You know, I never noticed before that site mentioned it, that my birthday (6/6) is 66 days from April Fools Day.
That being said, I would buy one of these in a second, judging glares be damned.

Well, I've preordered it.. It seemed to go through like a normal pre-order does on GAME.co.uk....
I'll be interested to see the message they send me when they cancel the preorder...

I would love it if that were a real product (big double bass fan) but it's not meant to be. Oh well.

Yes, the upright bass, also known as the acoustic bass or DOUBLE bass.
Get some culture, man.

If there were jazz in my rockband, I'd die under the mere difficulty. XD

Well, they e-mailed me to let me know it was an April Fools and that my pre-order would be cancelled.. But they did give me a £5 voucher (which will be going towards Mario Kart Wii) so I can't really complain.
