April Fools' Alert #2: The Double Bass controller

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]

Dammit, you beat me to it!

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

Guitar Hero 4 Primus confirmed.

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.

I would actually haqve bought this. This looks awesome. Imagine all of the Jazz songs that would come with the game!

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.

Man when I read the headline I thought double bass as in double bass pedals for the drumset. D:

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.

That actually looks fairly awesome.
I feel a DIY bass guitar coming on.
Tonbo @ Apr 1st 2008 11:17AM
I was expecting a double necked bass guitar controller. Ha!
Alex @ Apr 1st 2008 11:26AM

"double" bass?
basscase @ Apr 1st 2008 9:25PM
Yes, the upright bass, also known as the acoustic bass or DOUBLE bass.
Get some culture, man.
Evan Brown @ Apr 1st 2008 12:20PM

If there were jazz in my rockband, I'd die under the mere difficulty. XD
Purple Haze @ Apr 1st 2008 10:39PM
As a double bassist, that would be fucking awesome.

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.
If only every link I clicked on gave me a fiver...
