@ I play emulated bass with my guitar and pick, I looked through the forum the first time I joined 2 weeks ago, and it wasn't mentioned anywhere if it's not allowed, moreover people were actually using emulated bass.

Yesterday i saw Black Sabbath here in Buenos Aires, it's a shame it was the first and last time i'm going to see them :(

Anyone else think the bass beginner and intermediate should be swapped again?  I don't think the gulf between the two is as big as last week, though.  I'd rate God Hates as a 2 (or a 3 if you really think those hammer ons add difficulty), and King of Fools as a 3.

 

Then I downtuned (as you can tell).  Shit score but I'm blaming my bass, because the song is not difficult:

I had a little go at he 'tallica before I buggered up my tuning:

I do like a bit of 'tallica.  Not the music - just playing it! :D

@@JokerTheAnarchist fear not... we can never list you in any class but MC again. No worries!

And as mentioned earlier GoG is a challenge cup and no class, so you will always be Mc lead and GoG participant.

And ... the weekly and Gog winner awards are handed over to the new winner, the leader crowns are worn by the class leaders with weekly updates.

And insane performance again, congratulations.

My best runs always happen on Lear A Song mode........where it least matters.......

OBJECTION @@JokerTheAnarchist

 

hey guys

This is my best score on MC bass with an actual bass, after some work in riff repeater and more than 15 tries on score attack, trying both fingerstyle and with a pick.

And this is my best score with emulated bass, with less than 5 tries... 
 

http://i68.tinypic.com/6pahli.jpg
 

don't trust the play count, I practiced first on bass then on guitar and then on bass again, and made a lot of incomplete plays

 

And I'm a shitty guitar player, I never practice, and feel really uncomfortable when playing guitar.

So yeah, of course for you talented MC lead guys any MC bass song is a piece of cake if you play it on emulated bass...

but playing bass is not playing guitar with an octave pedal that tunes you an octave lower. Bass is WAY harder than this because of bigger strings, more force required, harder string muting, etc. "MC Bass" is not "MC lead but without playing chords and solos"

 

I'll always get better scores on emulated bass than on real bass. - Not even mentioning the fact that most of (if not all of) my misses on this song are notes that I actually played right, but got misses because of shitty recognition system and my bass not supporting dropped tunings -

So it's like doping in sports competitions. If I only wanted to make the best scores I can, I'd just tryhard on guitar and stop playing bass on rocksmith. Sorry if I take things too seriously, but come on, let us have some fun, don't accept scores from emulated bass. 

Hope other bass guys agree with me ! have a good evening ;)

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.

I can't help but feel a sense of irony when reading your signature @@JokerTheAnarchist ... not to mention a sense of accuracy when I see your chat handle :)

 

Yes you're clearly a great player. Sometimes being amazing and smashing it within one or 2 tries is impressive but it can also be discouraging for people who do find these tracks hard... I always want to kind of edit your posts a bit when you post "EASY!" in big colourful letters, I want to edit it to "It's Easy! Well for me at least, but hey guys, I totally get we're all at different levels of ability in the game, keep chugging people, don't be discouraged by my awesomeness! I want you to strive to be better, better than me!!" Or something to that effect... You don't have to word your posts like that of course, I'm not the thought police. Be kind though. I wasn't keen on your "Homo" comment earlier. That kinda thing is a bit nasty. But hey, that's just my opinion, you're a big personality. I'm sure you'll cope. 

 

Some scores

No Biffy or Death Angel yet... It's likely the latter will come way later in the week. Biffy I'm waiting on my strings to settle a bit, plus working tonight. 

[missis sumner]

My strings had settled a bit:

But then I tuned back up to D standard to play some Volbeat…  B)

 

I then switched to my £80 Ebay Peavey Millennium, and got 98.5% and was a bit miffed that I'd accidentally done it in LAS, so had to have another go:

Plucking with my FINGERS on a REAL bass BTW, ;)

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. :)

 

Personally i agree with @@Steven Briquette. For most of us, emulated bass have a little advantage in the score. Less size of frets - less moves - less pressure, more easy hold high speed etc. Would be fair to play on the real bass for competition. But we can not determine was used an emulated or real bass. So lets be fair.

I know I can get my streak up to >2000 damn it!

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.

Right if you can't take the objective criticism @@JokerTheAnarchist then you really need to take your own advice and "don't get offended like everyone else is easy in 2016". And by the way... it's not fun for the person on the receiving end of name calling. Add a fucking winky emoticon once in a while ... /sigh

@@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.

Ok. I agree with everything you say. You are totally rational and correct.

[Nick K.]

 

If I just replied "I use a pick" to ThugRaven, none of this would've happened. 

Now I feel bad for asking... Sorry if i caused this. I honestly didnt mean to spur up an argument

[JokerTheAnarchist]

@ it wasn't you, dude don't even worry about it. 

 

Of course you can to play emubass, its allowed.

 

That's it, an organizer said it's allowed, everyone can keep calm now. Case closed. Sincerely thank you, @@Molice.
