Nope nothing weird there. From what I recall in earlier threads, all of the guitars in the full band kits were the old body style with the new necks and innards. Overall, there shouldn't be any difference between your RB2 guitar and any of the other RB2 guitars (other than cosmetics).

Awesome, thanks!

According to this, no.

"I, Rocketsauce am announcing that today Friday, the 12th day of the month of December will be playing Rockband at some point"

Here's a Wired interview with Harmonix co-founder and CEO Alex Rigopolus

Rock Band 2 Patch 1 (360)
Update Version 1.3(NA)
Update Version 1.1(EFIGS)

Release Notes:

Hardware:

-Adjusted crosstalk values for drum hardware.

-Fix for remote drum fills being silent – users will now hear the drum track when drum fills.


Gameplay:

-Fixed overlapping drum fill bug on drum track.

-Fixed rare network crash involving client signing out during setlist creation.

-Fixed rare crash on calibration screen when users mash guitar controller buttons.

-Fixed bug where Leaderboard scores in Band World Tour were not uploading after users played the first song.

-Fixed bug where Leaderboard career scores were posted including DLC songs and not just disc songs as originally intended.

-Fixed rare bug where some combination of local and remote players signed in as guests and gamertags could result in loss of band data if the session owner signed out during a small interval where the game was caching the band data.



Thanks,
HMXHenry

:lol:
Hopefully they replaced the crash with a pop-up notice: "What is WRONG with you?!?"

They forgot to fix the bug where it doesn't show your stars.

I'm glad to see that at least responded to everyone asking for stars.

What's the problem?

Dan Teasdale mentioned it in an interview recently (I think for the Euro launch), and said it is on their radar. But frankly, he didn't make it seem like it was coming anytime soon, and that they were looking at different ways that it could happen.

First time I have been really upset with Harmonix. There is nothing more pressing than the stars issue...fix it. It can't possibly be that hard.

porieux 12-12-08 04:15 PM

Aren't they going to announce today what the real DLC is for next week?
You know the DLC for the people who actually play the game and not the stuff that is just trying to 'expand into new markets'..?

Mark my words, we're not going to see them until Rock Band 3.

Yep. On the back of the RB3 case, "Track Your Progress with the Return of Stars on the Score Screen!!!"

I think they'll be back before then. Maybe not in-game though, as I think Teasdale mentioned using the website as a possibility. Not a great solution, but I think if it was as easy as a lot of us think, they'd have been patched in or certainly coming by now.

Chinese Democracy Coming?
 
From an online chat with Axl
http://www.chinesedemocracy.com/inde...com-appearance


TWT (free at last...): And the Dexter TV show, hopefully. Maybe Six Feet Under as well. Oh, wait! Axl, I find the verses on Shackler's Revenge to remind me of The Sopranos theme tune in certain ways. Should they do? Furthermore, any chance of getting the complete album on Rockband? That would be swell. I've done SR on expert, so if you're looking for a guitarist, PM me.
Edit: Shit, I just saw the above post in red. We'll have to find out the answer to that one another day



Axl: Never thought of that w/the Sopranos but a big fan of that song. And I think that's a yes on Rockband.

I'm a total sucker and just dropped the cash on the whole No Doubt pack this morning even though i had said i wouldn't. :lol: I have no willpower.

GatorDeb 12-14-08 12:40 PM

Thanks to my bestest friend in the world (Decker :D) I am now a proud Rock Band 2 Bundle for the XBOX 360 owner. It was $118.51 ($109+tax), AND it came with a $25 Toys 'R Us giftcard (probably going to get the AC/DC track pack).

Finishing the plate of food now that I left half-finished when I ran out to TRU this morning and then going to get my rocking ON.

Not only that, the store next door is Fallas Paredes (clothing store) and they were having a 70% off sale. 7 pants and a shirt for 30 bucks total after tax, and it all fits perfectly :D

It was a good day for shopping!

The Bus 12-14-08 12:50 PM

I'll gladly buy your RB2 instruments when you get tired of the game on Feb. 3rd. :)

argh923 12-14-08 12:57 PM

Did you make sure that the cashier accompanied you to the bank so he/she could watch you pull the money out?
