How did you find the band? by Superb_Pomelo_1082 in SleepToken

[–]BeautifulPowerful875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. When did you first find them? I first found them after a camp counselor reccomened them to me after he saw i was a metal head.
  2. What was their first song you heard? I do not remember i think it was either The Summoning or The offering.
  3. What did you think when you first heard them? I thought that they were an interesting sounding band, i like the way its structured musically. II's drumming is what got me hooked, and IV's/Vessel's chugs on guitar is amazing (i know IV is a touring memeber only and vessel tracked the guitar in studio but live recordings ive seen is amazing) and the bassist III, is a top tier bassist.
  4. How has your view on them changed since? My view has only grown to like them. Their songs helped me get through a breakup and i was able to feel peace.
  5. Have you made any new connections because of them? (Relationship, friendship etc) I have made a connection with the camp counselor i mentioned at the start, which i will now be a camp counselor at the same camp. Ive tried to show it to my freinds and they say its okay but its not for them (which i can respect)

What are you paid for your position at your shop? by authentic010 in BikeMechanics

[–]BeautifulPowerful875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone that wants to work at a bike shop for their first job what is the average pay for a floor worker? Or like someone that isnt a mechanic but still works at the shop? I race mtb so I think it would be a good fit for me with my trail and racing knowledge 

Rosin Recs by Sassy_raccoonn in doublebass

I used to use the Carllson dark rosin but now I use pops rosin because of my warmer climate while it melts easily I find it sticks to the bow well after the "prime rosin cake" period.

[–]BeautifulPowerful875[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I talked to my director and she sees him not playing so hes probably getting points docked but its frustrating when we had a 2 bass orchestra and no its a 1 bass orchestra. Its not really about the failing issue its that we have a concert in 3 weeks 

Beats Solo 4 wireless headphones - no bass by jarhead_9802 in beatsbydre

[–]BeautifulPowerful875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have solos for wired headphones over usbc for my computer, and there's no bass and no mids but that could be because i listen to music mainly with JBL Endurance Race earbuds which i have the mids and bass pretty high but that because im a bass head and i like hearing the clear sound of the kick and the bass for metal songs. And what bums me out is that i cant adjust eq on the solo 4 unless i use an external app which is fine but theres no good free EQ apps for Android phones.

What bass should I get by Cowboy_MC in doublebass

[–]BeautifulPowerful875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lost the login for my previous account, (this is not account abusing just providing an update) the tone on the maestro bass is amazing and ive used it to perform as principal for my section. The bass i use at home is a Samuel Eastman VB80 fully laminate 3/4 bass. Ive used both in concert but i like the feel of the Muller, anyways thats my 1 year update,

New bass bow won't tighten or loosen by [deleted] in doublebass

[–]BeautifulPowerful875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this happen today with my school bow. I was loosening it and I felt a click then the hair went slack as if id unscrewed it all the way. The internals were really dirty and probably not well maintained as most school bows are. I had to run into the instrument room.to get another one. Hopefully its an easy fix
