What a beauty, Pruitt1962! I'm lusting after a 5-string Prestige myself, but I'm holding off on the purchase as a "reward" for myself if I stick with playing bass long enough (I've been playing guitar for about 20 years, bass for one year, kicking myself for not starting sooner). How do you like the narrower string spacing? My 4-string has the "standard" 19mm spacing, but I'm thinking I could use a slightly narrower one.

Probably Rocks on the Road by Jethro Tull.

I hope you didn't do Living in the Past, because that's what I'm working on now. :) In fact, I'd be happy if you could try a WIP version (bass only for now). If you're up for it, you can grab it from my dropbox. I'm especially looking for tips regarding the tone, as I'm not really happy with it yet.

Thanks ZagatoZee, but I already have all of those. It's not so much the creation part, but just getting into it. You have to download and install the editor (EOF - Editor on Fire), the Toolkit for packing the DLCs, and Wwise SDK for converting the song files to the .wem format RS uses. Once you have all that set up, it's not so bad. You import the audio into EOF, create a tempo map (adjust the beats to match the music precisely), then you import or manually input all the notes, create simplified versions of your track for the lower difficulties (optional), create custom tones in RS, then you import them and everything else into the Toolkit, and make the DLC package. There are tutorials on the web for every step, and once you get into the "groove" you can turn them out pretty quickly.

You da man Pruitt1962! I found 3 JT songs I'd like to do in MIDI, converted them using GuitarPro into tabs, and the result is...not horrible. Since customs are created manually anyway, all I need is a reference, so that I don't have to transcribe the song myself (which I probably couldn't do anyway with my less than perfect pitch). Now I need to finish my current custom quickly so that I can start with some sweet, sweet JT. :)

Interesting...I could try MIDI import in GuitarPro 6. I'm curious to see how good it comes out. I suspect quite a bit of editing will be required etc, but that wouldn't be a problem. Can you recommend any good sites where JT MIDI can be found?

[*]Heavy Horses - will be done by Aludog [*]Hunting Girl [*]anything from Rock Island [*]anything from Catfish Rising [*]anything from Roots to Branches [*]This is not Love - have MIDI now If anyone has accurate guitar and/or bass tabs for any of those songs, please let me know. Thanks. :) I'm already planning to do Aqualung, Farm on the Freeway, Living in the Past, and Locomotive Breath (I have good tabs for them), and possibly other Tull songs, unless somebody else makes them first of course. ;) Finished JT songs in the database: [*]Living in the Past [*]Songs from the Wood

Same here. Played guitar for almost 20 years, never got any good at it. Rocksmith 1 sparked my interest anew, so much so that I bought a (cheap) Ibanez SR 300 bass, and almost immediately fell in love with it. Now my two guitars are gathering dust (except when I'm making a custom) yet I play my bass daily. The funny thing is, in my team at work, there are 4 bass players out of about 10 people, and I'm slowly spreading the Rocksmith bug among them. :)

Thanks for stepping up and setting up this new site. I'll post my customs here as soon as possible.
