Ok, I don't know if anyone can help me....
Let me start by saying I know NOTHING about the RB games OR the peripherals, so forgive me if I seem retarded.
So I saw a lego rb game (used) at gamestop, and i thought that might be cute so i bought it. But i obviously dont have any instruments. After a few weeks i found some rock band guitars at a second-hand place, unaware that they needed a special adapter piece to plug in to the xbox. So I ordered some of those and it took 4 weeks for them to come, and I was very excited to finally be able to play, but I can't seem to turn it on. Ummmm...help?
Oh, and the guitars are the old wired rock band kind where the wire comes out up by the xbox button. Maybe someone here can help me fix them? Or tell me what I forgt to do.
That would be the wired Fender-sponsored guitrollers. They are legendarily wonky. You're better off looking for the GH3 Les Paul (wireless) or the GH5 slider (wireless and absolutely the best guitroller ever) Don't buy Mad-Catz second hand. Mad-Catz guitrollers always had a problem with overdrive and many RB-players at some point opened them up in a try to 'repair' them. Used Mad-Catz guitrollers are almost all screwed over twice.
As for the wired guitroller though, all you needed to do was to get the plug-end from one of your wired control-pads... If I leave my wired guitroller alone for a while, like a week or three, I need forcably shake it left to right to loosen the overdrive-tilter and I fail at least two songs before the buttons get recognized. The problems go away after a while and then it is fine. I can't really say why the wired guitroller doesn't work... since it should. The fretbar and the body are a one-piece afterall, unlike the Les Paul and the GH5-slider...
