if it's any consolation whatsoever, Guitar Hero is NOT sexay.

no, really, it's a grown man playing with a plastic "watch me grow!" kinda toy.

Real guitars = sexay.
Real basses = melt.

O-hoh- the phobia's precisely why no consolation is needed! I won't even touch the things, much less (pretend to) play them!

Real guitars and basses are a different matter. My growly Fender P's been with me for the better part of twenty years now and I should really be a bit embarrassed about the number of guitars I own.
