I have played bass on rocksmith. I would say I was intermediate when I started. I was breezing through the early songs, getting 100%, so I thought I needed to step up the difficulty. I busted out Spirit of Radio, and my fingers stopped working halfway through the song.

My problem with rocksmith is that I don't think it uses optimal fingering sometimes, which can make it more difficult than it needs to be.

I don't think rocksmith is the best for learning, although it is fun, and can teach you some basic skills. For bass, as sad as it sounds, you don't have to be great to be serviceable. There are lots of bands who don't do much more than root eighth notes. Start slow, and pretty soon you'll add some fifths, then some thirds, then some passing notes. Before you know it, you'll sound like a competent bass player.

For me, I started playing at my church band, because they needed a bass player, and I owned a bass. I started out just playing roots. It was about six months before I felt like I wasn't embarrassing myself, but nobody else noticed. My suggestion would be to keep focusing on your technique. The rest will come with practice. But it does take time and practice.
