I use the same cheapo 4-string bass on tunings ranging from E to C std. With the same strings. Granted, when I'm in C I need to remember to use less force with the right hand, but usually I can play no problem. Depending on you situation there might be 2 main reasons for the problem: A. Fret buzz - a looser string moves a bit wider while vibrating. If it starts to hit the frets 'too much' it becomes a problem. You might want to raise the action a bit then. Neck relief might also be a factor in this. B. Bad intonation - ideally on a well tuned instrument the note on the 12th fret should be EXACTLY the same as an empty string, just an octave higher. It might be off just enough that RS registers it correctly when in standard tuning, but misses it when dropped. There's a ton of videos on how to fix your intonation on youtube. C. A mix of the above. A properly setup bass shouldn't have a problem with drop D. Unless it's a weird electronics issue, but that's unlikely imo. A lot of players here use some kind of pitch shifter pedal instead of retuning. Pitch shifting the song with the song manager is also allowed. More of a bandaid than a solution for your problem, but still might be useful.

- (mostly) RNG selection - minimal diff rating adjustments by me - feel encouraged to voice your opinion on the ratings - esp. the the top 2 bass tracks - we need more volunteers for week starting, pm @ Rodman if you are able to contribute - I'll review the leaderboard tomorrow, but if you see any scores missing let me know rn

This one's over, here's the new stuff:

~30 min warning, new thread is coming Last chance to get your scores in.

There is no need to be sorry. You did nothing wrong. Getting a class promotion is an occasion to celebrate! If you think that ADV is too much of a challenge for now, you can always appeal the promotion. Or drop down later. Don't worry, just play & post scores.

Updates: - fixed thread title, it was showing week 545 instead of 546 - adjusted the diff ratings for lead - 6.5 for both int and adv, no changes to the tracklist - no changes to the winners list (yay!) - added 2 missing scores to the leaderboard: - gspot; Anri - Rememmber Summer Days; Bass; 92.04; 77; 300536 - pedropmf; Masayoshi Takanaka - Thunder Storm; Bass; 98.96; 240; 1079441 - @ pedropmf sorry, your screenshot for Anri did not contain streak value and thus wasn't valid

- Another da capo, sorry. - Diff ratings left original. - The Metallica chart was no longer available on ignition. I linked the -authentic- historical version, but there's a new one available. If you think that newer is better speak up. - There might be errors in the winners list, I'll fix them tomorrow.

Here's the new thread.

This week closes soon (~30 mins I guess?), get your scores in.

I haven't played bass for awhile. PAIN I also tried GoB, but that only resulted in cramps half way through.

I entered all the scores by hand, the leaderboard should be up to date now.
