Play an instrument? No-one to play with?

It's time you got yourself an Eclectic Guitar! More than just a guitar, the Eclectic Guitar comes with an amp with a built in ham radio. Now you can scour the airwaves for fellow musicians and imput their radio feeds to your Eclectic amp's patented Multi-Speaker Output system. The MSO system allows high sound quality from both direct and radio feeds allowing for the sound of a whole band in your living room!

Instruments also available: electric acoustic guitars, bass guitars, electric drum kits, keyboards, synthesisers and direct microphone input.

       Jeez, I thought someone was kidding when they told me there were airguitar 'competitions'. What a waste of time.   

       Nice idea [harderthanjesus] btw! [+] Bands formed literally around the world would be amazing. (If you've heard of the Postal Service you'll know the album was written by two people in two places, mailing ideas backwards and forwards).

       Would there be a noticeable time lag in the signals from the other musicians? (I'm thinking this would be caused more by the conversion to radio signal and back again; presumably the radio signal itself would only travel a short distance on ham radio, with negligible effect).

       Why are air guitar competitions surprising? The most popular show on television is a Kareoke contest.

       Hm, good point [boysparks]. Maybe it'd be more effective using VOIP. Still a chance of lag but certainly a longer range.
—harderthanjesus, May 12 2006
   

       Apologies, I was actually hoping you'd say that the conversion lag would be negligible.   

       Duets have been performed at simultaneous rock concerts, so it still might not be that much of a problem.
