As if we needed more music game peripherals. Mad Catz has just introduced the first ever bass guitar peripheral for a music game. Mad Catz’ Fender Precision Bass guitar for Rock Band is different from other guitar peripherals in which it no longer has a whammy bar and it is replace with a volume knob. Also, it incorporates a new Split Strum Bar, which is guaranteed to let gamers strum and pluck notes faster. As of the moment, it is only available for the Xbox 360 with a $70 price tag, which is cheaper than most musical instrument peripherals.
