I m considering to buy this game but i see there is a lot of complains about the faulty cable. I ve read that some cables broke after few hours of playing and some didn t even work right after purchase. I love how the game teaches you how to play but if i ll need to pay 30$ for a cable 5 times a month i think i ll just save my money and pass on it. So my question is the cable really that bad?
I've got two cables never a problem with either.
These is a couling in the cable that can come loose.
If that happens all you need to do is reattach it.
No, the cable is perfectly fine as-is. In the unlikely event it doesn't work out of the box, you should be able to return it to the store you bought it for a replacement. Heck, my cable worked fine even after I dropped my guitar and bent the connector almost 90 degrees. For a few days, at least.
The only thing I'll say is that if you plan to Chuck Berry all over your living room, or plan to play at the very limit of the cable length for some reason, then buy a female-female adapter and use a normal guitar cable as an extension to avoid problems due to rough handling.
I've had mine for over 2 months (about 6-10 hrs a week playtime) and not had any problems either. I treat mine like it's made of glass and always coil it instead of bending it - apparently they are easily damaged and there have been a few posts from people that have been carefull and still had problems.
My cable gets left on the floor, stepped on, thrown into a crate, tugged, bent, and in several other ways abused on a daily basis. I've had it since november and it works as flawlessly as it did the day i bought it. I don't recommend allowing any of those things to happen to a cable, but perhaps this will assuage your fears and convince you to immediately go out and buy a copy. it's money well spent
and like many have said, cables can be faulty, but most reputable stores will help you out with that should it occur.
Oh, my! That's up 10 degrees in just the last day or so! lolOriginally Posted by Steel_Nirvana
The cable isn't particularly delicate... but it is delicate. I haven't had a problem, but I don't really do much with the cable. I don't re-coil it, I don't sit things on it or step on it... you just have to treat it nicely. If you're afraid of that, do what Steel_Nirvana suggested and get a longer cable and an adapter... you could also get a wireless setup (do a search for wireless at the top of the forum), which allows the cable itself to never even move... The point is, these things are all worth it, and even if you do ruin a cable or two here and there, the game is still worth it.
"About 80 degrees" and "almost 90 degrees" are different ways of saying the same thing. I didn't realize I'd need to get a protractor and measure the exact angle to avoid having you throw stupid things in my face from thread to thread.
Uncool.
Wow. It was a joke. Ergo both lol and a winking smiley... Touchy much?
Personally, I think it's pretty uncool to have such an extreme reaction to a joke... but you're clearly the purveyor of cool... so I'll continue to let you make that call.
I don't find it funny, smiley or not, thanks.
It's not my responsibility to provide you with a sense of humor.
