Notes:
- my diff rating skills are rusty, so if you see a mistake speak up - it will be corrected
- bass part for "Inwards" only gets bonus assignment because some notes are off-screen in beginning of song
- I clicked 'yes' on all the auto-promotion prompts, didn't check previous threads for opt-outs. If you're affected and don't want to level up just post.
- Selection kinda done by rng. I admit to interfering with the process a bit by not re-rolling the Steel Panther song when it didn't fit. Instead I re-rolled other paths. So, not truly random but not hand picked either.

[hellothere1]

Hey, I was wondering something: Is it okay to use Customforge song manager to transpose songs to E standard/Drop D? I'm probably not going to tune my guitar to Eb drop Db or lower

 WORLD WIDE CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK 517!!!!!!! YEAHHH!!!! 

Thank you @ nlbsmglsk  for another great week!!! (By the way, if I may ask, whats is the meaning of your username??)

I like the song selections for this week. So.... here we go!!!! 

----

I liked this Clutch song! Fun to play! I agree it is 4 and could have been an intermediate song as well. Looking forward to play the guitar for this.

[aNDESmASAMUNE]

I just had suggested this BADBADNOTGOOD song two days ago!!!!  I suggested it because I would like to play more jazz songs in bass. I think it is a very beautiful song. I knew the band but I got to know this song thanks to CustomForge..

Bass MC is a big challenge for me and I was hoping this song would be selected when I got better!  I would have never imagine it would be selected for this week... It will be a big challenge, but my goal is getting more than 90% in Bass MC songs (I failed last week cause I didnt have enough time)

I did have time today and this is after doing A LOT of RR!! I am satisfied with the result for today, but I hope I can reach the 90s...

This is nice.

@ nlbsmglsk Thanks for setting up the week. As an Adv class bass player I'd like to ask that we please use Inwards for the main path song and the Steel Panther song as the bonus. 

[lowender]

my first scores for this week! I had a lot of fun playing this clutch song, hopefully i'll be able to bump up my scores with a bit of practice 

[someotherbruce]

I looked at the Intermediate song and thought "no way I'm playing D Standard on 9-42's!" I need to look for a drop pedal! Then I counted guitars. And hadn't played my Gretsch Junior Jet in months and months. So I yoinked off the Bigsby B5 Vibrato I had put on it a few years back. I had already set it up with a low profile wrap around bridge, so that was good to go. Yanked the strings off. Polished it. Hit the neck with tru oil. Popped a set of 11-49's on. It's got a Lollar P90, not a requisite humbucker. But it sounded pretty decent, and now I have a guitar for playing Eb standard, D standard stuff.

I has no real meaning besides being unique and unpronounceable (so people can't talk about me behind my back   ).

@ nlbsmglsk

Totally ok, I think @ Mikson does that all time.

Normally I'd say sure, no problem. But since that chart has some minor issues I'm gonna have to ask the other players for opinion.

@ADV BASS players: are you ok with the proposed change to the roster?


(if no one says no I'm switch it tomorrow).

Heh, I use 9-46 for D std and Drop C. 8-38 for E std, Drop D and Eb std even. Still, any reason to dust off an unused guitar is good, especially a nice one.

Bass beginner. Clutch Bass lines are always so much fun to play

@ nlbsmglsk

That is absolutely ok. Though you might be surprised - your guitar might have no issues with that tuning if you give it a shot.
I personally like to play over my Amps sound - so a pitched tone will be useless for me. I always play in the real songs tuning but i use an extra guitar for each tuning (which helps to have at least some of them being played sometimes)

@ nlbsmglsk

Hi! If possible, can someone send me a link where they explain how you do that? Including installing the song manager...

CHAMPIONSHIP NIGHT, YEAHH!!!! 

-----

This Clutch song is really fun to play!! The kind of song you would play to warm up and get in the mood!

Could have been a not so challenging intermediate song.

---

This Ghost song is more difficult than I imagined!!! Need practice to improve my score...
