I just recently bought the Rock Band Bass Guitar and tried to use it with Guitar Hero World Tour on my Xbox 360 and the game is not recognizing it as a guitar. Everywhere I have read tells me that this guitar should be compatible, but I am having no luck with it. Am I doing something wrong or are the guitar and game just incompatible?
Actually, after unplugging it and plugging it back in multiple times, it was finally recognized as a guitar when I changed to the other USB port on the front of the Xbox. It is kinda funny that MadCatz would say that it won't work with Guitar Hero while even Rock Band says that their guitars will work with GH. I guess MadCatz is wanting to decrease the amount of sales of their product when they actually do work with other games. It is a nice guitar so I would recommend it to people looking for a new Guitar Hero/Rock Band guitar.

The actual guitar that shipped with the Rock Band bundle will work with GH:WT, but it appears that the Mad Catz bass that you bought (assuming by your description) won't work with guitar hero.

This is from the FAQ page from the Mad Catz site for the bass guitar:

Q. Is this Bass compatible with Guitar Hero?
A. NO

So, looks like you're outta luck!

Guitar Hero and Rock band are rival guitar music video games why would they gang up together and make compatible guitars? Then they would sell less guitars.

Finale Answer : NO
