@@then3verend (at Int bass), @@NoonyDeloony and @@Kaijin (at Adv bass) - songs from your classes are considered to belong to one class below. If you don't want to level up PM me.

Arrggh! Just can't seem to hit those chords cleanly enough for rocksmith to recognize - they sound OK through the amp though.

 

Anyhow, minor improvement:

 Frustration setting in for me...  About an hour and a half grinding away on the Adv. Bass song last night convinced me that I have detection and/or intonation problems.  Good news is that that prompted me to realize that I can adjust my intonation with a simple philips screwdriver rather than allen wrenches, as I have mistakenly thought for the past 15 or so years of owning the bass...  D'oh!

 

But undoubtedly a good thing to get that figured out (better 15 years late than never), and I got my E (14 cents off between open and octave) and D (23! cents off between open and octave) strings into much better shape.

 

That improved my hour of grinding today to be a bit more consistent, but now I'm tending to bomb out on a little slide and quick followup note 749-750 notes into the song.  Tried riff repeater to practice just that part, and I can hit it correctly about 75% of the time ... but get me into a "game time" situation and that has dropped to 0 so far.

 

I think I might have to admit defeat!

 

Here's screenshot evidence of how consistent I am, particularly at failing at the same (or almost the same) point in the song:

That 2nd one is my personal best accuracy/streak/score.  I may wave the white flag of surrender at this point to preserve my sanity / blood pressure...   <_<

@@MilkmanDan Cool, hard work you did.  It was hot battle :) Love it challenging near 100%, hope will continue at next the week.

So, this is a bit nuts, but ...

 

I tried ONE MORE TIME after posting above:

 

Finally!  Still well under your score (nice work!), but I can bow out a little more happily having achieved the 100%.  And I think I'd go berserk if I played that song even 1 more time, so you don't have to worry about me trying to one-up your high score in the last 24 hours or so here!   :lol:

Despite having a mild hangover, I shall be pushing to get 100% on adv and have a PT for comparison, just hope 3 hours is enough time :D

And since I hit that milestone on Adv Bass, I might spend a bit of time trying to get less sucktacular on the MC Bass song.  Here's a good improvement over my initial entry:

 

Not gonna have enough time to make that really respectable, but that's OK.

@@MilkmanDan  Ooo, no. May be you need little rest   :D

:lol:

Ok, so here goes final difficulty scores for week 51 songs:

Interpol - Obstacle 1: Lead 2, Rhythm 3, Bass 6
Arctic Monkeys - Leave Before The Lights Come On: Lead 4, Rhythm 5, Bass 2
Death Cab for Cutie - Soul Meets Body: Lead 7, Rhythm 6, Bass 3
King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man: Lead 9, Rhythm N/A, Bass 10

I give you one day for final comments. Tomorrow I will submit that scores.
