Welcome @@MafiaPenguin! It sure is fun :)

@@MafiaPenguin - you got no idea, it´s a blast ;)

 

Great you are here.

Black Metal! I can not hold the pick anymore.

 

 

Got this earlier in the week, hadn't noticed I'd gone LAS instead of SA

 

So I thought, oh I'll get the 100 in score attack next go...HAH!  :D  This has had me tearing my hair out, the hundo-tremors kick in and I fluff up in some stupid way every time!  :rolleyes:

 

......99.80% every time!  (there were many more restarts than the play count suggests!)

And bass, with memories of my youth  ;) 

 

I've been bad again.

 

I've spent all my day driving and all my evening cleaning, instead of playing.  This was before I started cleaning; it's possibly the most beautiful bass I own:

Very nice!

Everclear Lead

This song is very hard for me, getting slightly better:

 

http://steamcommunity.com/id/MorgageSurfer/screenshot/860606681760815062

 

Had to change some of the fingering of the chorus to get this far.

Stupid song and it wont recognize notes out of no where notes. Perhaps my cord is going bad? Its hard to fail at such a simple song but I managed to do it. G...G...G...miss...WTF!!!

 

And well I have to play Megadeth no matter how bad I do.

Much better:

That's funny, the same thing happened to me. The first few times I played it it was fine. I somehow missed a random note those first few times (I'm sure I played it, but whatever). Then I retuned my E string because it was around +10, and after that the game barely recognized it at all. Tried restarting several times, and it would work properly. Kept on getting an X within the first ten seconds. I quit the game and loaded up again, then it was back to normal.

That IS a beautiful finish!  What is it?

It's a SGC Nanyo Bass Collection, 320 series, made in Japan, 1995.  I believe the body is sen, and it's very, very light.  It's probably lighter than my Yamaha TRBX 504.

 

When I first saw them, I didn't like the headstock on them at all, but let's just say it's grown on me. :D
