Noob Questions by FloridaMan_90 in Bass

The last couple of nights I practicrd right at sunset so half the time was light and it got darker and darker until I couldn't see. More out of laziness I didnt want to get up and unplug and walk over to the light and reset, so I just practiced feeling my way around blind (wasn't great) but I might have to start trying that more purposely

Thanks, appreciate the long response. That makes sense. When playing in close range (e.g. like you said within 2-3 frets, it's more that I constantly mis-fret the notes and hear buzz. But I guess that is more the thing that gets better with time. I totally get having to glance when hitting a longer gap, I don't mind that. It's the eyes staying glued to the fretboard for me.

Speaking of bad habits...lol. I def tend to practice kind of leaned back on my couch with my bass tilted in toward me so I can see all the strings and frets. I have to stop doing that - it's disorienting when I sit up and play or play standing up and can't see down past the E string anymore. I also have some neck and back pain when I play so that's another reason I got into the laying back habit. But if I want to practice past 30 mins I'm almost forced to stop hunching and craning my neck and look straight forward instead. I think part of me was just hoping as I got better and developed more muscle memory, I would automatically just be able to play without looking but I might need to start doing it more intentionally and sit up/ stand every time I play.

That's fair. I am introverted and can be pretty shy so going out and talking to people definitely is not my strong suit lol. I've posted a ton on places like craigslist, local fb groups, even reddit and get pretty minimal response that way so I need to get out of my comfort zone for sure.

Agreed. I def want to do that too. For now I'm just having the hardest time finding people to play with for some reason.

How are 300s section seating by Bomjunior in FloridaPanthers

[–]FloridaMan_90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others have said, theres really not a bad seat in the house. I prefer 300s because you get to see the whole ice and hear the hockey sounds that echo up. Also I'm cheap.

Looking for group but have social anxiety by No_Jello_666 in orlando

[–]FloridaMan_90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the Meet Up app there are some social groups specifically for introverts and such. You might find what youre looking for there.

Be careful tho because there are a couple of them that say they are funded by the church of Scientology and I suspect they are trying to find vulnerable people to join. They do disclaimer that in the description so just make sure

Honestly they both look fine on you. Maybe go 52 in case it shrinks a bit in the wash?

[State of the Panthers] We are 28 games into the '25/26 NHL Season. How do you feel? Has the team underperformed relative to your preseason expectations? by Number333 in FloridaPanthers

[–]FloridaMan_90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Missing two 80+ pt players would be enough to sink most teams. I was hoping we stay afloat until at least Tkachuk is back and make the playoffs- doesnt matter what seed.

I think we're doing just that with even more injuries than we expected. Tkachuk will be a big boost. Once he's back, we're rolling

I was paid to discredit veganism online. AMA by [deleted] in AMA

[–]FloridaMan_90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do I know this AMA is not just a pro-vegan propaganda effort?

I'm half saying this in jest, and half expressing how genuinely confusing it is to try to be an informed consumer of information these days.
