hello there. here's a first score on rushhhhh

pretty fun song https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4zebKHkDZhIVW5WNFNaSU9iODA/view?usp=sharing all my basses have to few frets so i probably wont get a better score.

but the 23th fret doesn't count anyhow since the latest update

 

ah i had no idea.... i tried to bend to the 23 fret and it seemed to register but the score... multiplier was unaffected.

 

same thing for me ! i had some recognition system problems during the last (and most easy) part tho

...okay, that was fast

 

 

Maybe this isn't the best place to ask this, but...

 

Does anyone have any advice for building up finger speed, strength and endurance for some of the faster music on bass?  I've been working on playing Amorphis Under the Red Cloud, but after playing the song a few times, my fingers are completely worn out!  Most of the song is pretty easy, but there are a few of the faster sections that I struggle with.  

left hand, right hand or both ? most important thing is to stay relaxed

 

Right hand.  I play finger style/finger picking style, if that makes a difference, I can't use a pick.  I generally use three fingers during the faster sections, but like I said, my fingers get pretty tired.  I am making progress, yesterday my (right) hand was dead tired after playing through Under the Red Cloud twice, today I managed to play it three times before they gave up on me.   :)

 

I try and keep both of my hands relaxed, but do find my self tensing up from time to time.  So any more advice?

The kind of jazz I'd listen to is one with fast tempos and solos all over, I don't know where to find that though.

 

don't know about the fast tempos but

thank me later

hey guys, and happy new year everyone :D
here's an ok score because I'm too lazy to practice, and I don't really like this song :

Hangover cured boys.
 
Master Class Bass 99.82% (I could very easily 100 this, but the song is soo long and boring to play haha)

Of course it is since you're not play a bass, but 6:30 is not really long.

 

On real bass it is boring as well :lol:

 

I wouldn't say boring or long, bass or not, but it's definitely no fun to play for me :( I need to start filling the song selection list (you guys too)

(glad to see I'm still the first at MC bass this year ;) !)

okay @@JokerTheAnarchist... I thought my bait was too obvious, but you're free to take it anyway :') I'll mess with you a little more :

http://i65.tinypic.com/2ls7yv.jpg

don't get too cocky when you've beaten up this score tho, you don't even realize that you would need years of practice to get your stamina and 3 finger technique solid enough to play it on an actual bass. 

            ( sorry guys, I know, I'm a kid :') )

I have Christmas Wrapping up over 98%.

 

So are there no FreeBirds planning on trying this track on a tuba through a microphone?

here's my disastrous try on keyboards lol

http://i64.tinypic.com/2ql9zif.jpg

yeah I can't sightread bass tabs on keyboards :'( they should put an option for sheet music (that would make us lazy bass and guitar players learn to read them, which would be cool)

and a better try on BASS !

merry christmas mates 

TATATA, TA ! Now, it is time to see how you died. Remember that death is not the end (tatata, ta). But only a transition.

http://i65.tinypic.com/2qt95av.jpg

you'll have to try a lil harder @@JokerTheAnarchist. but come on, IT'S FREAKING EASY !
 

HEY GUYS
  just had some tries at that rainbow song (I made a mistake on the easiest part :| )

http://i67.tinypic.com/se3fx1.jpg

I'm not going to spend practice time on this one, I would say 7 in difficulty
I just used it as a warm up to practice one of the hardest (and best) songs I've ever played... Fatal Tragedy is nooo joke.

ALSO ! I'll just leave this link here :
http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/719817-A-guide-to-achieving-low-latency-in-Rocksmith-on-PC-Forums
Highly recommending it... it really made the game better for me, as I had some latency before.

 

RS2014RE Updated Steam news

is realtone cable going to past?..  

so we can play acoustic guitar... can't wait to see some Paco De Lucia as MC lead song ;) would play it for sure

 

DT`s bass for MC removed.

OH COME ON :'((((

Late, but successful attempt at Gengis Khan ! Some serious 3-finger stamina exercise here, what was this doing in Advanced class ? I would say 8 in difficulty ! and definitely less for babymetal (tried it one time with sound muted, but didn't practice it more because damn, I hate those baby voices)

sorry guys for having put Fatal Tragedy on the list, we MC bass and GoG players are gonna have some hard times this week...
 

@@Steven Briquette you're going freebird? I want it clear :)

yep !

medical advice:

 

freebirding can be dangerous cause esp. overdosed it can have major adverse effects - top of all loss of motivation in the contest (cause there is no need or good reason for a good score...)!

 

So handle with absolute care unless you are an expert on the topic like @@2groggy

 

;)

no problem ! i'm staying with you guys

 

 

I foresee an evening of tone designing ahead! :P  On the topic of which, what tones do you guys have on your hotkeys?  I'm guessing it's a good idea to have one clean, one distorted, but what else?

 

I don't.  I turn the bass right down in the game and send my bass signal directly to my amp.  That way I can actually hear how I sound (bloody awful, usually lol).

 

how do you do that ? bass into amp with jack then amp into PC with real tone cable ? can't this damage the cable or something ?

Try playing it on a guitar? ;)

 

I actually have really light strings, so maybe that's the problem. I'll choose a heavier gauge next time I buy some ! thanks for the advice

happy birthday to you, bassmate @@Vodka !

slowly gaining ground in my battle against recognition system, only misses are definitely due to it. I start to pray when I have to play something like 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2, that's pretty annoying. I think it's just the A string, anyone has advices to get rid of that ? please guys

http://i65.tinypic.com/qr19g4.jpg

this one is more like 7-8 difficulty to me. pretty cool song tho

 

@@JokerTheAnarchist I did`t try offence to you. It was only advice, how make everyone happy. Of course you can to play emubass, its allowed.

 

Allowed bcs :  We can use the rule only if we can monitor compliance. Everything else is on the conscience of the participants

 

 

I can't really understand what you wrote in orange...

 

it basically means that it's pretty unfair, but if it was forbidden we couldn't verify if it's respected so it's your choice if you're happy with winning without a bass.

But no problem, I'm as free as a bird now.

*Mics up cazoo. Scores a trillion in MCbass*

and this bird is trying this as soon as possible

@@JokerTheAnarchist Of course you can to play emubass, its allowed.

That's it, an organizer said it's allowed, everyone can shut the fuck up now. Case closed. Sincerely thank you, @@Molice.

I'm not competing in "bass category" with people who don't play bass.

PEACE, I'M GOING FREEBIRD.

Hey @@2groggy, how're you ? :D

edited by Mortalo for better wording :)

@@JokerTheAnarchist 

 

 

It didn't feel any different. I would just need a week to get used to the bigger fret spaces, but that's about it.

What about the evidence  that you are as good  with real bass,  as you is good with guitar (emu-bass)? Then everyone will be happy. And then you can safely use emulated bass in future, everyone will know that you is a god both instruments. :)

 

It's not about being sure that @@JokerTheAnarchist can do 100% with a bass, that does not matter ! It's about not using that kind of advantages, to make sure that everyone is not getting "forced" to use them if they want to reach the same scores.

@@Steven Briquette

 

I don't know man. Emulated Bass is in the game, it's there to be able to play bass arrangements with a guitar, why shouldn't we be able to use it? It's part of the game. It's not cheating.

It's not cheating, but it's easier than playing a real bass. It's just about keeping the fun of the competition : as I was saying, there's no point of playing a bass if you can play a guitar with octaver more easily.

@@Steven Briquette

 

And no offense, but what makes you think that for us "talented MC lead guys", switching to an actual bass guitar would be harder?

- because you're guitar players

- because bass is not a guitar tuned an octave lower, it's way harder (already said that).

Just pick a bass, play the MC bass song, and post your score. If it's as good as your emulated bass score, then perfect. I'm not even saying that you couldn't make it ( using the word "talented" was not sarcasm dude, of course you're a good player ) , it's just no fun to use a guitar instead.

hey guys
