Bonus Songs re-locked?? | Forums

[mbarsott]

... and i pretty much got the same results:
Boss: guitar arrangments unlocked. bass arrangement unlocked -> ONLY ONE AVAILABLE FOR ME AT THE MOMENT

Jules: guitar arrangements unlocked. bass arrangement locked.
Richochet: guitar arrangements unlocked. bass arrangement locked.
Six AM Salvation: guitar arrangements unlocked. bass arrangement locked.
Space Ostrich: guitar arrangements unlocked. bass arrangement locked.
Star Spangled Banner: no bass arrangement.

hope that helps.

Interesting... Boss is also the only bass arrangement unlocked for me too. I did not pay attention, but it was probably unlocked with my only bass double encore I got.

I have played about 4 events and gotten double encores in each one. Did really well on them but it never said I unlocked a song, just an effect for the encore. Boss is in my song list but that;s the only one. I have all the rest unlocked for guitar. Def a bug.

This probaably doesn't help, but I had Jules selected in guitar mode (previously unlocked and played before bass expansion) I switched to bass and the song menu jumps all the way back to the first song. I forwarded the menu to where Jules should be and it doesn't even show when I am in bass mode. This is 360 FWIW.

yeah, that happens unless you do this ", get to the screen that has arrangement select,"

try switching to bass mode after selecting jules in the guitar song list, before picking an arrangement. Otherwise it just dumps you from the mid of the guitar song list to the front of the bass song list.

if you had it unlocked before, it shows up from the get go. they are all supposed to. they don't and that's the problem. All except SSB. And you can't re unlock them in bass if you had them unlocked in guitar before. Hope they get it fixed. i was looking forward to playing some of those bass lines.

Boss is the only "unlockable" song that even shows in my song list under bass.

I just did a double encore with bass, and got no new song unlocked.

I have them all unlocked under guitar.

[rcole_sooner]

Can you guys do me a favor, and navigate to the song in guitar, get to the screen that has arrangement select, and then hit back/select to switch to Bass. Is the song still not available to be played?

This will help us get down to the source of this bug.

Yep, as the others have stated, all of them except Boss are locked.

I checked on this last night too and found that Boss was the only song unlocked. I have them all unlocked under guitar. I have only done 1 event so far in the Bass journey and I got a double there, though I don't think it said that I unlocked a song afterwards. If I go to the other songs in the guitar journey and switch to bass it shows the locked icon. (I didn't try them all, just a couple, but I assume I'd get the same thing on the others.)

ok, here's an interesting addition to this... mystery.

i decided to start a completely new game save today because i wanted to unlock the bass head achievement and have been unsuccessful in three attempts so far. while the story for unlocking that achievement is a completely different one, it had something to do with unlocking a bonus song.

so i went and played the game from scratch. this meant i had to set up my guitar on the guitar part first (soundcheck, tuning, volume, your first riff) and after doing that, i immediately switched to bass (emulated). i rehearsed the first two songs, performed them and got over 70k on both of them, prompting an encore. got over 100k on that one prompting a double encore. got 98k with that and then i unlocked the bass head achievement (you have to download the tone saver dlc, btw, for those interested in unlocking it - hey! i'm no flea and i don't expect to 70k higher ground anytime soon!). as for the unlocked bonus song...

my guess is, the first (and only) bonus song you can unlock on the bass part is a completely random pick out of the 5 bonus songs with bass arrangements on them. after that, the remaining four - even if you manage to prompt double encores on your subsequent events - will remain locked.

now, since i've decided to make a new save file, i'll try experimenting again back on the guitar side of things to see if this affects unlocking bonus songs for guitar arrangements, too, for the sake of new rocksmith players who bought a copy of the game with the on-disc bass dlc version. (though that can be a pain! argh!)

hope that helps.

I am having the same issue others are having. I have all songs unlocked for guitar. Boss is only bonus song available in Bass mode. No songs unlocked when I got a double encore on my first event. I am playing the Best Buy version of the game on the PS3. I have everything except a few authentic tones unlocked on the guitar. I was experiencing lockups playing events till the patch came out.

continuing with my experiment into this problem, i decided to continue with my journey on both bass and guitar and see if these hidden songs continue to be unlocked for both guitar and bass everytime i perform double encores.
since this was a new save file, i started again as an amateur on guitar. performed the event, played a double encore and i unlocked...
Disonaur - Space Ostrich - guitar arrangement unlocked. bass arrangement unlocked.

cool. two hidden songs unlocked so far. i then switched back to my bass journey. performed the next event, played another double encore and this time, i unlocked...
Six AM Salvation - Versus Them. bass arrangement unlocked. guitar arrangement unlocked.

a total of three unlocked hidden songs.

i, therefore, have to correct a certain part of my previous post above...

...since in this case two more were unlocked. i could go on playing double encores to further prove what i have discovered, but i guess it's safe to conclude that with new save files, any hidden song unlocked either through the guitar or bass journeys will result in being unlocked in that song's respective counterpart instrument arrangement, with the exception of star-spangled banner. of course, it would be interesting to see if i continue unlocking hidden songs using the bass journey and see if a bass double encore will still unlock a bass-less song such as star-spangled banner for guitar.
