The Beatles: Rock Band Replica Bass Revealed

6
Last week, we got a look at the Rickenbacker 325 and Gretsch Duo Jet replica controllers that Harmonix will be selling alongside The Beatles: Rock Band when the game hits 9/9/09.

Now, The Beatles: Rock Band Pre-Order Club has revealed the forthcoming replica of Sir Paul McCartney's Hofner bass (pictured left).

While the Rickenbacker 325 and Gretsch Duo Jet controllers will be sold separately, at $100 a pop, thus far, the Hofner looks to be only available in the $250 Limited Edition Premium Bundle. Along with the Hofner, the ultra-pricey bundle packs a copy of the game, a microphone, a mic stand, and "Beatles-inspired" Rock Band 2 drums.

But for the benefit of Mr. Kite, don't despair too much about the high costs--the instruments are an investment, as Harmonix notes that the forthcoming PS3, X360 and Wii controllers will be compatible with all Rock Band titles for the respective consoles.

    Really nice, but I would rather have seen the Rickenbacker 4001S :(
