How to unlock the I Know Bass Techniques achievement in Rocksmith 2014 - Definitive Guide

This is basically the same as I Know Guitar Techniques, but this time for bass and with a few new techniques. You can obtain this by playing emulated bass on songs, but if you want to play the technique challenges, the game will tell you to connect an actual bass guitar. If you have a bass guitar, then no problem. If you do not have a bass guitar, you can still unlock this by playing the challenges. Press => choose bass => => press => tuner => E standard => => and then tune.

The guitar/bass will be almost unplayable due to the strings being way to thin and you will have to tune it multiple times for it to stay at least a little tuned, but the game will register it as a bass. As said in I Know Guitar Techniques, percentage does not matter and you should be thankful for that now. If you want to hit any notes at all, play a half step lower on every note (when game says 3rd fret on E-string, play 2nd fret on E-string). This will sound bad, but it works better when playing with such thin strings. I would recommend that you start with "Slap & pop". This technique does not occure in any base-game-songs and there is a big chance you have missed it. If you have imported the songs from the first game, you can however find slap & pop on the song "Higher Ground" and the technique can also be found on a few DLC songs. If that’s not it, keep playing challenges for techniques you think you might have missed.

Just as for the guitar challenges, keep these in mind:

 

  • You do not need to watch the video, only play the practice track.
  • Difficulty does not matter.
  • Percentage does not matter (you will probably have to hit one "technique-specific note" though).
  • You can completely ignore the challenges that does not have a practice track.


Potential glitch:
For some players the technique-trophies seems to be a bit glitchy and not pop when they should, but rather at random times later. If you are struggling, just keep playing songs, technique challenges and the guitarcade games

The essence of getting the trophy is the same as with I Know Guitar Techniques (if you have a bass guitar).

If not, here are the instructions:

  • To successfully complete bass guitar lessons while playing a regular guitar, you need to set the settings to Standard Bass .
  • In this case, your strings will be lowered to the lowest drop of almost all possible, do not pay attention to this, but pretend that you are playing the bass guitar
  • If the game does not adequately read your playing and you simply won’t hit the notes, even though you are sure that you are playing absolutely correctly, open the tuner and adjust the tuning again.
