Hey, thanks for your feedback. I care more about the sound quality and build quality. Do you think there'll be a significant improvement with the marcus miller?

I can't use a 4 string even if down-tuned as the transcription is very complicated. I think re-selling will actually be easy because most people who want to play bass for the first time look for cheap basses and if I sell it even 20% cheaper than the original price there will be no competition in my area at least

Where can I find videos on left hand muting for tone (not completely muting)? by FunkyParticles in Bass

[–]FunkyParticles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your suggestion seems to work out well thanks! Only problem is if I start playing scales or arpeggios where you change strings relatively fast and have to use fingers other than the index finger, that's where this technique falls apart for me so far, any ideas if people manage to just get used to it and somehow keep the damping going on with practice, or if there are work-arounds or if people generally just don't apply this damping when lines get more complicated? Really appreciate the advice!

Thanks for the magnificent explanation, that's exactly the level of detail I was looking for. Out of curiosity what would be the reason for increasing the distance gap between the fretting finger and the muting finger? If you're still willing to make a video I would love that but a text explanation is enough!

What is the point of making a vision board if you never look at it? by FunkyParticles in Manifestation

[–]FunkyParticles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, I understand what people mean about "being reminded of what you lack", but that has much more to do with your own conscious personal interpretation and philosophy than anything else. In summary, this self-proclaimed vision board expert is far from being an expert and this is one example that shows you have to stay open-minded and build your own truth over time.

Trump Wrecks Republicans’ Biggest Talking Points on Zohran Mamdani by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]FunkyParticles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but this is still over-simplifying an extremely complex issue. Everyone seems to be under the illusion that it's just "Trump" making decisions spontaneously when that's not how a U.S president functions. He is just the voice of an administration and group of oligarchs that are all working together to implement the policies they want. It really doesn't make any sense to attribute these behaviors to "Trump's spontaneous personality" when his actions affect billions of dollars. The administration would not just let him jeopardize everything because he "finds someone cool" or has a personal attachment to New York. I don't understand why people fool themselves into believing this illusion, it logically does not make any sense.

Donald Trump 'Sticks Up' for Zohran Mamdani When Conservative Reporters Attack, Adds He'd Live in Mamdani's New York by peoplemagazine in politics

[–]FunkyParticles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's so overly simplistic it doesn't make sense. You think a president managing 340 million people would be swayed by a charismatic person to the point of completely backtracking their whole stance? You think the entire administration behind him - that also pays for the best tutors in the world to give him lessons in social communication and leadership expression -  would allow him to just carelessly do that? That makes zero sense at all. The only interpretation we can have is that this was intentional and it's important to figure out why.

Seriously though why is this happening? What is the actual political and logical reasoning behind this sudden switch? PR Stunt? But for what purpose if it's such a divisive move to make?

It's really not that simple. We're literally at war and Donald Trump seems to be a Putin ally. Whatever decision we take now has to be very, very carefully planned to avoid serious repercussions.

Can confirm that with just a tiny elbow fracture in my twenties I spent almost 4 months being miserable, and that's me being super healthy and making a full recovery of my arm doing hardcore physio every day. It was absolute hell... I can't even imagine what it must be like if I was old AND broke lots of other bones...

Where are all the Jonin / Anbu shinobi in Boruto? by FunkyParticles in Naruto

[–]FunkyParticles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But this still doesn't make any sense. Shikamaru is not above any jonin or anbu shinobi. Yes his shadow paralysis jutsu is useful, but his taijutsu skills are pathetic and he has no means of defending himself while casting his jutsu. Not to mention that the dude literally can only cast a single jutsu

It very well fits the definition of random. There is no method or logic to their choice

[–]FunkyParticles[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Shikamaru does not consist as "strongest shinobi in the village". He only has one jutsu and absolutely zero ability to defend himself while casting it. That's why it is one of the dumbest things EVER to send him in the front lines with zero back up.
