they are all decent brands I have no clue on the models. I kinda prefer to play them in person before buying them as I've bought a couple of basses online and then when they got here i did not like how they felt (some can be uncomfortable size) and returned them, some werent loud enough etc (so might be a waste of time waiting). Also I think buying used is always a good option. Most of the time people buy an instrument and then realize its too hard or it was a gift and they leave it unplayed for years. Or you've got people who collect them, about to move and cant take them all, want to sell some to buy an "upgrade", have too many or worst cases die. Especially with pedals. Theres very few times when the instrument is defective to the point of it not being salvageable and since its used its cheaper but thats just my opinion. I probably wouldnt get anything above 400 if its your first bass (unless money isnt an issue? but yea idk 200 to 400 is usually a good starting point imo). OH and one important thing about bass theres Passive and Active. This will probably cause some debate on which is "better" . I havent had any luck with passive basses my main bass is active and I like it alot. Passive doesnt need a battery but sometimes may sound very low when connecting to an interface or amp and you might need to buy an extra pedal to get that mmft. Active requires a 9v battery that you switch depending on how much you use it/if you leave it connected (but it can last a long time/ idr how long i switched mine and its an easy access thing usually) and generally doesnt need an extra pedal for volume.

new week here

Well better late than never!! Winners will be announced later seems like the automatic proccess is having issues again so i might just add the scores manually OK added them mannualy and winners are up! @ Daz40 are you really in intermediate lead? i thought you were A in all 3 classes. the list says the other 2 are a but lead is i As always let me know your difficulty ratings and ill try to average it out. Preferably early in the week...like monday just to not cause chaos through out the last days buuut i guess the week already started late so its understandable. anyways numbers are much appreciated Songs : Jesus stole my gf- Random song that i found a while back that i liked. Was hoping he fixed the chord fingering since it might be confusing to beginners, (just bar it with a finger dont use 3 fingers) but besides that its a decent chart and easy enough/ Handlebars- good 2000s song. lets not talk about the abomination of logan pauls no handlebars lol. I made the chart (always kinda cringe selecting my own psarcs) so there might be some mistakes. But if there is let me know and ill fix it! Hit the floor- Miss bmfv hopefully there will be more revamps of cdlc cause some of them need it. The poison was one of the first physical cds i bought ( tbf that day i bought like 20 cds ) so i still have strong memories attached to it. Either lead or alt lead should count i think since its the same but different harmonies.. i kinda like alt more. Dj cassidy- fun lil bassline. Think it might be a bit over rated since it didnt seem to be that difficult/ almost 100 % it first try but well see false night- cool little riffy song. Might have over rated all the paths might not be that hard but i did get like 80s on all of them cause its just fast (except for bass i think that one was like 94?). also i will apologize for the different tunnings :v I imagine here is where we will post what song will be coverd next.

not that im aware of but it would be kinda interesting feature. Alternatively if you are using google chrome you could just star the page and then put in a folder ( incase you do lots of them) which is the equivalent of saving a post? ..and youd just rename it to what was important of that page.

ok looks like no one voluntered to do this next week, i think i got spare time so ill set it up

nah, fraid to tell you I've seen the future, you go up this year and you do good in that class

not sure what happened this week didnt have much time. And still havent done the cover, hopefully will later though

Ok I averaged the bass ratings (since thats mostly where people rated) / rounded up and they are updated now. Kinda surprised trex still remains under mmbop since its kinda tricky to 100% but i guess it does repeat a lot. (I just switched values on the chart and post i didnt delete it hopefully that's ok/ to me it doesnt make sense to delete the week and refetch everything/ might cause problems for whoever is doing next week. but if i have to let me know)

SWEET!!! have fun at the concert! I wanted to go aswell when they passed by my hometown during christmas but they were charging as much as a taylor swift concert(an arm n a leg). So I was like yea..I'm good I'll pass. Sure they will do a spectacular show as they always do though /m/

Oooh did you by any chance run the reppair dd on the newer version?iirc correctly I also had some issues a long time ago when doing that to newer cdlc (don't reccomend doing that or doing large chunks) I would only do it on really old cdlc that doesnt have sections. Then again, I havent really used cfsm in a long time but djpavs also mentioned that the blue lines couldve been a bystandard from using cfsm since the one he uploaded doesnt have that.

Dang 4 hours is impressive! What all do you do and every how often?

@ Vodka Damn grats on the score!! Song is pretty tricky so respect. As others mentioned, no one will be as harsh as yourself. I think its pretty normal to have this feeling and it is usually refered as "impostor syndrome". Infact I think the new robbie williams movie kinda does a good job of diving into those aspects. Unfortunatley not many people watched it, but it is kind of a hard movie to sell with it might not being the music people like, the darker aspects, or/and the fact that the main character is a cgi monkey Anyways,you probably aren't that way to your friends (well...maybe to the closest ones to mess around) so you shouldn't be to yourself. Never down yourself comparing to others cause you don't know how much practice or help theyve had through out time "learning the craft". They should only be used as motivation or inspiration. There is no shortcut to music and there's no right or wrong (what you love others may detest and vice a versa) as its an "art" so its purely subjective. So there is no reason to not try today and have fun making abominations!! Unless you don't want to (which is valid). Perhaps what you consider a flaw is what makes your cover stand out more and what makes other people like it more. Just do your best (listen, practice, record, edit , etc) for this week, upload it, and learn what you could do better and try to incorporate it in the next cover and repeat. There is always something to learn I think the covers is a great idea if we keep doing it till the end of the year (I say "we" yet I havent done one yet hehe). then you can go back at the end of the year and hopefully see some progress. If not, well atleast you gave your best on each cover, and will have an album for deaf people Atleast thats the way i see it. So I will submit mine sometime this week and hope to see everyones aswell ! I agree with @ drand that a week might be too little to do a cover especially if its a song that isnt being played in the championship week. 2 weeks imo would also be ideal just cause sometimes weeks can get pretty cluttered with work or other events. But we'll see.

Well I haven't tried it myself yet so idk maybe its harder than it sounds :V you could always do trial and error if you dont like the tabs...trust your ears or maybe rodman could point you in the right direction if he found something useful? https://ignition4.customsforge.com/cdlc/81642 the cdlc should be an ok starting point i think? Alternatively you could just do something completly different like the pop goes punk covers. ig here maybe punk goes pop/ any style (now imagining reggeaton lmao.) just pick random chords and sing, theres no rules in music just happy accidents... and perhaps angry neighbors girls tend to have a higher register so shifting the song up might be an option/ make stuff easier for you? if you are doing vocals on any cover

Aww i thought i was selecting an easier song for the cover. Was looking forward for your rendition and vodkas. And I will still be on the lookout when you guys do it cause i know you can and will ! I can actually hear your voice!! grats on making that work! and you added some guitar lead to cover it hehe. very neat to see your 2 different renditions. youve got some nice call and respond sections with the guitar and vocals. i personally would just give the vocals a little bit more space to breathe in some of the sections to make it shine more. Kinda like if the lead guitar were ad libs vocals. Buts its easier said than done as its easy to overdo guitar leads and the important thing is you had the guts to do it /m/ so respect. always crazzy how small changes can change a song, its the reason why i never finish songs cause theres so many options which is a blessing and a curse. Also is that your guitar in the pic? looks sick!

DAMN that was quick, Rod the Machine!! Grats!! Wasnt expecting someone to post a cover so soon. Surprised you even added synths and everything, very well done! Also have fun at the concert! I'm not really a NIN fan but I remember I was lucky enough to see them at a festival and they were one of my favorites of the night. (Keane was number 1 for me cause that guy has some incredible vocals and lots of good songs imo)

Odd, are you sure that is @ Djpavs version? Because I only have his version (the one I put for the week) and I just now replayed the sections in both rhythm and lead and i don't have those blue lines. one is lead one is rhythm dont know which is which I imagine pavs version should be the better one since its the newest one but I havent tried the other version yet.

np! yea lemme know ranking numbers. daz had it at 5.5 seemed pretty easy for me did it first try so idk.. and then since that was first try and baby boomer took me a couple i was conflicted. did you try the baby boomer song?

heres my test playthroughs: @ jasmith85 yea rocksmith sometimes is wonky. When i feel like i am hitting the notes and it doesnt detect sometimes restarting the game helps. Might be a placebo but it works for me lol. Also be carefull on how you play the E chord cause emmy tabbed it two different ways and I believe if you play the extra strings or dont then it might not count as a stroke since you are playing more or less strings. But that's just a theory idk if its an actual thing.

@ Mikson I was hoping you would play it again

New week is up!!

I was looking for 3 chord songs since im a noob for the cover song of this week. Smoke on the water would be cool but its actually harder than expected. Party for your rights by the beastie boys is pretty easy but I decided this weeks cover is gonna be : The Hand that Feeds by NIN. I think rodmans voice would be interesting in that song and hopefully its an easy enough song for more people to participate this time! As for the ratings of the songs I'm pretty mixed about them so feel free to give your own ratings (numbers please) and at the end of the week i'll just do an average and update it. I added public summer song for bass beginner ( its mostly just 2 strings) cause i personally found trex song a bit hard to 100% (even if its just like 2 riffs and going up and down a scale). And I wasnt sure how to rate can't stop guitar parts because sum 41 imo was way harder than rhcp and that was a 6...yet jellis had rated 8 for the lead and mikson 7.5 so yea just a bit tricky. Anyways hope you all have a good week and look forward to any covers that you guys do!

I'll be testing songs for next week so i think those are my last scores. thanks for the extra push even if you arent masterclass rhythm (one day xD)

Gave it some more go s since you beat my score @ Mikson
