The craze of video game controller guitars for titles like Rock Band continues today with the shipment of Mad Catz first ever Rock Band bass guitar. It is known as Rock Band Fender Precision Bass Replica for Xbox 360 and it prices around $70.

The Fender Precision Bass from Mad Catz is its initial offering under license from Harmonix and MTV Games related to the Rock Band game. It is compatible with both the older title and the upcoming sequel Rock Band 2 and can be used, according to Mad Catz, to play both lead and bass guitar portions of a music track.

Features of this guitar include “Solo Keys, Whammy, and Overdrive Mode.” It also has a “Split Strum Bar” which allows one to pluck notes faster and more precisely. It should be available now.
