And now for something completely different!

Since my last three posts were all complaining I thought I'd wrap things up with something a bit more positive. Over the weekend when I was playing Rock Band with a meager 55 songs the down strum on my guitar stopped working. Well past the warranty, and already in a less than great mood I was ready to discover I was proper fucked, but the Internet came to my rescue. It turns out the problem is fairly common, and I was able to fix it by removing the eight million screws that hold the plastic guitar together, and simply cleaning the components with a bit of rubbing alcohol. Apparently the plastic of the strum bar is softer than that of the housing holding it in place, and my guitar was filled with white plastic dust gumming up the works. I cleaned it out, and now it works like I just bought it.

Now I just wonder if the accelerometer problem in my Mad Catz Bass can be as easily fixed.
