Hi all,

Been playing RS14 since release and have more than 1200 hours logged but recently ran into a problem I just can't seem to solve.  All of a sudden when I get into RS and to the main menu where you can start to hear your instrument I get.. almost nothing.  I can hear a "thump" that changes pitch with the strings but that's it with the same behavior across all of my basses.

Sure would appreciate any suggestions anyone may have...

So some additional experimentation:

 

• I have tried a brand new Real Tone Cable and same behavior
• The bass(es) are in fact getting picked up but for some reason it is picking it up at least an octave what the bass is tuned to.  By that I mean in Standard E tuning when I pluck the E string the tuner is telling me to tune down about 7 frets.  Same behavior on all strings
• I have zapped the Rocksmith.ini file so it would create a new one 

Will update if I find anything else...

And SOLVED!!!!

 

Somehow it had switched to "emulated" bass and when I switched that back to "real bass" it worked as expected.  Makes sense since it was an octave off in hindsight but OMG how frustrating!
