Extended Range Bass Songs Not Working

Hi, I'm usually the last person to post for help on a forum, but I've had no luck finding any answers. I have a pretty decent amount of CDLC for 6 string bass and just purchased a fretless 6 string so that I can learn them, and it was my understanding that if I had the 6 string bass plugged in and an extended range bass plugged in, that maybe the game would recognize that and the songs would be playable (any extended range bass songs that I have are X'd out when I'm under the Bass tab and when I try to select them, it switches to guitar.) I just really want a solution to this so that I can get the most out of my new toy and jam out on my new 6 in 2014 like in the Steven Jackson videos.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) /m/

5/6 string bass tracks are done on rhythm tracks to display all 6 strings but the notes are in the bass octave.

The game has no way to know if you've plugged in a 6 string bass or any other kind of instrument and there's no (current) way to add/remove strings to a bass or guitar track so this is the workaround we use.

This song has a 4 string and a 6 string bass chart on both arrangements so you can see the differences in each method.

Okay, I thought that might be the solution (it seemed to be the most sensible) but it sounded like it was still trying to tune it an octave higher. Do I just need to skip tuning and tune it outside of the game?

It could be a standard rhythm track or it could just be done in the wrong octave (like quite a few of these charts are). In that case you'll probably have to use the tuner in the pause menu to tune correctly and ignore the % you get at the end.

If you wanna fix it you could change the tuning frequency from A440 to A220 in cfsm, rstoolkit or dlc builder.

Could I get a link to the song to check?
