How to unlock the Bass Streaker achievement in Rock Band 3 - Definitive Guide

For those of you, like me, not as proficient at hard or expert, you can get this on Medium difficulty playing Smoke on the Water. I did it quite by accident, not even trying for the achievement. I'm unsure how many total notes are in the song, but I got 100% which wasn't difficult to do.

worked for me. my streak was 523 and there were 531 notes hit. so roughly 533 notes or so? as a side note, i used no overdrive, and that was enough to get 5 stars.

This is the best solution if you want to do this on medium. I got 100% on the first try.

Is there any way of removing or changing the colour of the bass groove it light your entire path blue an mixes rather badly with the blue note.

If anyone is wondering if this is difficult on expert (for those who get annoyed with medium), it isn't. I missed a note immediately after getting four stars (barely more than halfway through the song) and the achievement popped for me.

Great +1, just to warn there is one orange note that nearly got me, and might catch others

I can confirm this works on Medium with this song. I was on guitar, and a friend on bass - friend got 100% (I spaced the note streak at end - sorry) and cheevo popped.

One of the easier songs to perform on bass in Rock Band 3 is Just Like Heaven, by the Cure. Playing this song on Hard will be simple and repetitive and should be able to net you a 500-note streak without any great deal of difficulty.

Also very easy song- Everybody Wants to Rule the World on Expert. Has 710 notes, room to mess up at beginning or end. The song has no difficult parts and no HOPO's. Great spacing between notes.

Or better yet play Everybody Wants to Rule the World on hard mode with only upstrums. 100% the song and you can get both Bass Streaker and Most Authentic Strummer Achievements both.

There is no need to do this on Hard or Expert. I got it on the song "Portions for Foxes" by Rilo Kiley on medium.

Took me two tries, first time I blinked and messed up around note #450. There are 577 notes in the song on Hard.

Want to get this achievement on easy without paying $2 for a song? Free Bird has 623 notes on easy bass. Nothing really tricky about it, no rapid-fire notes.

I kept getting nervous and screwing up, so I switched it to medium difficulty. There were enough notes on medium that I screwed up twice and still got the 500 streak.

For this achievement, I used 'Du Hast' on expert. Unlike 'Just Like Heaven' (on expert) there are no 8th notes, everything in quarter notes, and 90% of the song is spent on green red and yellow. Either way...this should be easy.

There are plenty of good options already and here's another:

Song: I can See for Miles - The Who
Difficulty: Medium 100% = 554 notes

You really should have no problem getting 100% as the majority of the song is green notes. I got it first try accidentally, wasn't going for it, was working on a Bass challenge and I got it.

Good luck.

I got this on the first try playing Learn to fly by the foo fighters on expert. There is nothing tricky about this song. I gold starred itno problem and got the achievement.

One very easy song to do this on is Heroes by David Bowie. It has well over 600 notes on EASY Difficulty. And has a very easy chord progression.

The achievement can be done just by normally playing songs enjoying the game but if you have the urge to earn it (like me xD) you can do it by playing Portions for Foxes in medium difficulty. It's very easy to get a 100% percent in the song and score the achievement!

I'm surprised that nobody has yet suggested "Promised Land" by Vesuvius, since it's also a part of the "Live Free or Die" achievement.

Marketplace link: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Promised-Land/0000...

Edit: unfortunately this song is no longer available, so you'll have to do another song, or find a buddy with this song & play on his machine.

If you've downloaded Don't Look Back In Anger by Oasis, you can get it on Hard. I got 100% and the achievement. May be easier than Expert as there are no hammer ons and pull offs to worry about.

A very, VERY easy way to get this achievement is I Wanna Be Sedated on expert. It's repetitive, and there aren't many orange notes until the end of the song.

You can get this trophy on any difficulty, but most of the songs don't have 500 notes on Easy or even Medium.

An easy song is "Smoke on the Water" on Medium. It has 532 notes.

See Most Authentic Strummer

Most songs on Expert would have enough notes to pull this off but if you cannot manage, select a longer song on Medium or Hard. Free Bird should work fine on a low difficulty if you are having problems. Some people have reported that this carries over to the next song, but you are better off trying to do this in a single song just to be safe. You can see your current streak play selecting Bass Streaker from the Bass goals menu.
