• Once a wireless connection between the Bass and the USB Dongle has been successfully established, the LEDs on both the Bass and the USB Dongle
will be solid Blue.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
QUESTION: Why is the Front Strum Bar inverted in the game’s menu?
ANSWER: The Front Strum Bar is purposely inverted for better gameplay. Use the Back Strum Bar for menu navigation. If you want to use up-strumming
only during gameplay, only use the Back Strum Bar.
QUESTION: Where is the Whammy Bar on the Bass?
ANSWER: The Whammy Bar is replaced with a Whammy Knob. This will be the lower knob closest to the neck of the Bass. Fender Precision Basses
don’t traditionally have a Whammy Bar.
QUESTION: Do I need to keep turning the Whammy Knob to get the effect or just hold it in position?
ANSWER: For the Whammy Effect, turn Whammy Knob back and forth quickly for “tremolo style” play. Turn slowly for “dive bomb” effect. Release
knob and it will “auto center” back into position.
QUESTION: Do I have to strum both Bars for the game to register a note, or can I use one Strum Bar only and still play?
ANSWER: You can use one Strum Bar or both in combination to register the note in-game.
QUESTION: Will using both Strum Bars give me improved gameplay?
ANSWER: It will let you play quick progressions of notes faster by alternating both.
QUESTION: How do I activate “Overdrive?”
ANSWER: Tilting the Bass to a ninety (90) degree angle or by hitting the - (minus) button. You may also use the “Overdrive” pedal accessory (sold separately).
QUESTION: Can I use this Bass to play Guitar parts?
ANSWER: Yes, this is a fully functioning Guitar controller as well.
QUESTION: Can I use two Basses together in the game?
ANSWER: Yes, one Bass will be assigned Guitar part and the other will be assigned Bass part.
QUESTION: How do I remove the “headstock?”
ANSWER: Use a small pen or Phillips-head screwdriver to press the unlock button on back of “headstock.”
