Rock Band 3 bass paths

Hey gang! All of these paths require early whammy/squeezing. Some even double squeezing, but I made a little note on those activations. I also made notes when some activations have like 30th red and a 4th green preceeds it. For easier reference.

If you can't early whammy very good, like myself, try the activation a note or two ahead. You can also post in this thread if there is an error or a better path available. I'll try my best to update it.

A special thanks to MephistoJak for a better Roundabout path. And superspaz117 for No One Knows. Also switched three activations to No One Knows yet again thanks to MephistoJak's video.

Big thanks to bclare for finding more points in Get Up, Stand Up. Last but not least, ProfessorJoe for his continued help and testing aka Free Bird, Good Vibrations, Killing Moon, Rainbow In The Dark, Walk Of Life, ect...

Hey se7en, I was wondering how long it would be until you did this. You're always the one who gets out here with bass paths for a new game, and I appreciate it. I'll definitely give some of them a try.

1(+0)-10th green
2(+1)-3rd red
1(+1)-12th Y
1(+0)-3rd Y

1(+0)-3rd G
1 OD will remain....

Tested over and over again....

I liked your No One Knows path. Our first two activations are basically the same. No more points gained. The next three are different. Overall, my path between those activations score 3376 to your 3361. Very close. I was actually hoping I could find a tweak or two to your path.

If you went 2 - 8th green, you would have gained more points. With 1st blue - 675, with 8th green 718. The next one with 1st green is good. You could also go 7th blue for the same result. The final activation of mine was 795 to your 781. At least I made up some ground with that one.

I thank you for posting your paths. Wouldn't have seen it otherwise. Going to update it with a note of thanks.

As for Free Bird, my path nets more points with pretty much every activation. I edited activations between usage. Your first two activations versus my first two. Same amount of overdrive usage. Mine got more points. Then the next combination got more points. I did not even calculate several holds on mine and it still won out. I liked a few of the later activations like the red/blue chord got a note a ticks better than I had. The 2 activations after the one that follows it were better. I have fixed all of those and will give it another look tomorrow. Going to be 3 a.m. and I have work tomorrow. Would not be surprised to see 1,000+ points out there with my path. These longer songs/paths are a pain. A note or two here, ticks there, it all adds up.

Forgot to edit this post till now. lol. But yeah, slightly more points in my version. You have a very good eye, though.
