Definitely has sync issues. Was quite annoying. Super easy even so.

Another hour on Dragonforce with no improvement.So frustrated.

Dragonforce makes me want to throw my bass. The song is too long! One mess up and there goes 7 minutes.

Hahahahahahahahaha - let the carnage begin ;) If that aint what i was expectin, i hope missis s joins in, too! I really hope i find time this eve to strike back, cause 2morrow is no time for guitar, still a great day :) :) :): I fully expect 100% to be hit on this one. Will be fun. I still do not like downtuning this low...

Damn it! I really did not want to tune down again. Nice score.

I am not a huge fan of either song. I do not run heavy gauge strings, so tuning down that low makes for a floppy string which I do not enjoy. The other song is too fast for my fingers, so I end up hitting every other note in the fast parts. It usually registers as a hit though. Neither song is very hard, and I could see myself getting 100% or very close to it after a bit of practice. Just doubting whether I'm going to actually play them that much. My competitive side usually kicks in after a while, so I might end up going for it later this week. Both songs have their challenges, and either could be for Adv. class. It just might not be a 100% goes up week...

Some of us do not use a pick....

Might be my last try at this as I hate detuning this much. Devin - Bass - http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/535135824191444906/D818BF6FEC52A7F0111013E61D35C746FF7BC791/

Shhh

My 99% took a lot of tries. I hate this song now...

Welcome. I just started about two months ago. It has really improved my playing. The competition has forced me to focus on a song instead of the random song switching i normally did.

I'm kinda mixed on the idea of limiting the number of MC bass spots... Some aspects would be good but some feel kinda off also. Just by looking at the leaderboard from last week: Player Acc% Strk Score Blazikiller 100.00 1301 2,469,231 then3verend 100.00 1301 2,467,211 w4rl3x 100.00 1301 1,848,718 frippchen 100.00 1301 1,847,720 MilkmanDan 99.92 1231 Kaijin 99.07 306 genobadass 98.15 349 Mortalo 98.00 288 Joey 96.23 275 NoonyDeloony 93.77 239Blazikiller and then3verend are the elites with MM scores. w4rl3x and frippchen both hit 100% with very solid scores on hard. Kaijin and I both hit 99%+, genobadass and Mortalo with 98%+, and Joey and Noony both with solid accuracies in the mid 90s. So just by looking at the scores of that single week, one could get a pretty good grip on where to set the bar depending on how many spots we wanted to set for MC Bass. 2 seems too small, but there is a clear line in the chart at that point because of the difference between Master Mode and Hard scoring. If you set it at 3 spots, w4rl3x and frippchen would be under lots of pressure to fight for the best score with 100% accuracy on hard, and then one of the two would get screwed. Bump up to 4 spots, and the pressure shifts to me to try to pull out a 100% and beat one of those guys scores. I think I played the song somewhere around 6 times during the week, and one of the first times when I missed ONE note and got the 99.9 was my best. I think with enough tries I could have lucked into a 100% run, but I don't have any confidence that my timing/score would have beat the guys above me even then. And I wouldn't really have enjoyed it. ...And with more spots (5+), the pressure just keeps moving down the list to either A) try to avoid being "relegated" to Advanced, or B ) try NOT to get into the top spots so that one could go back to Advanced where they want to be anyway. I don't think that is really an ideal solution. A small number of MC spots will make the line feel arbitrary... I think that ranking based on score in the event of a tie (like a tie at 100%) is the best method available, but it isn't great because I don't really 100% trust Rocksmith's scoring system given potential differences in input lag/latency, random hiccups in system performance, etc. etc. A small number of spots puts a lot of faith in that scoring system, which I think is ... not great. A bigger number of spots limits the positive effects of the idea -- the pressure to really push for your best isn't on the elites like Blazi and never-never, who pretty much know that they are going to make the cut. Instead, it goes down to the first tier of also-rans... Since I'm sorta in that group, I'll just say that I don't think that pressure would motivate me -- rather the opposite. I play/participate here for fun, that sounds a bit too much like work. I dunno. Maybe I'm missing the nuances of how it would work, but I think that I personally would prefer some other system of solving the Advanced -> MC transition issue. I just don't know what. To be fair. The MC song last week is a song a lot of us have played a ton previously.

I only read the first few paragraphs, as always, of this. It was far too much to go further. if I missed something I apologize.....Damn Bourbon. I ramble... It's "my thing". :D I'm OK with this, just do not expect me to read it all. Also, I have had to spell-check every post. I might need to cut back on the Bourbon. I am misspelling easy words like misspelling.

Ya ya for sure, it definitely has it's hits and misses and the "post-hardcore" genre is very widely defined and has a huge variety from things like Fall of Troy and Hail the Sun to Dance Gavin Dance, Alexisonfire, etc. The groove can be tough with some weird time and syncopated rhythms, but I love it haha. Ya, agreed. That was a little ridiculous and I don't think I could push that much again haha. We'll try and keep it more sanity friendly and maybe a bit more fair to the other mc bassists here. Do you folk play on a real bass, or are you running emulated on the guitar? Always wondered... I have a cheap Rogue SX100 Bass, I switch between that and emulating my Epiphone with a set of .13's(whichever works with me that day) I usually reserve my Dean Razorback for guitar only due to the Floyd Rose bridge, but yesterday was the first I really tried to use it, and while the detection is spot on, I usually have to tune it about 4 times if i switch for RS to get 100% accuracy I have a very expensive, supposedly, P-Bass and this stuff is hard as can be for me. I was praying you were playing this on a nice skinny neck guitar where speed was easier. With this new found knowledge, damn you or whatever your equivalent is.......

In the vein of more challenging bass I think we need more Primus, and .Les Claypool, and it is hard to beat his rhythmic embrace.... On a side note, I can't do that shit... I only read the first few paragraphs, as always, of this. It was far too much to go further. if I missed something I apologize.....Damn Bourbon.

Some Medeski, Martin, and Wood might be a good start as well. Edit: Drunk typing
