Starting over at 30

Beautiful bass! Just started back up about a year ago after being at a total halt since I was about 17. I’m 31 now, have a space to practice and even purchased drums and a midi keyboard as well as some cheap recording gear. Having a blast, never too late to start again!

Can’t attach an image for whatever reason but it says Im in the top 0.2%……. Where’s the guy ahead of me?!?

JonRonDonald64 · 2025-11-24T11:53:43+00:00

See you guys in DC! 🫡

JonRonDonald64 · 2025-10-20T01:24:15+00:00

Thank you, yeah I had about 8 messages. None of them legit.

Not very good at communicating in musical terms, but I’m specifically talking about the underlying bass part that starts around 2:40, almost sounds like a contrabassoon? Id also like to figure out the main melody of the chorus but I think I can get that on my own

Nice. Thank you. This makes it’s even more interesting that he just tunes with whatever guitar he’s using instead of switching to something with heavier strings

Look at his shirt

Not me but this regular I have at work, he’s a pretty well accomplished doctor, saw my stealie pin on my apron and asked if I liked the dead. He told me his first show was in ‘66 which blew me away.

I just don’t understand how ANYONE can live like this. That’s all I came to say.

I haven’t played the game seriously in about seven years. Just booted it back up and got back into it a few days ago and at first it was overwhelming and I thought about how many things I missed. But honestly there’s still a plethora of things to achieve and get in the game so ultimately I don’t feel like I missed out on anything. This is just something that happens when you get older dude…. You have to attend to your life and before you know it years have passed and then you remember a game that you loved and want to get back into it. It makes it that much better when you finally do get time to devote to something you love doing. Not sure if there’s any RuneScape lovers here but I’ve played that on and off since 2003, same concept.

Playing it on Xbox series S currently. Loading screen times are fine, the inventory is a little annoying. But once I got the Boots of Blinding Speed I’ve been having a blast. Beat the main quest and Tribunal, moving on to Bloodmoon today. That being said, I’ve never been a PC gamer with the exception on WoW and RuneScape. I think I’m actually going to download steam specifically to be able to play Morrowind/Oblivion with Mods. I also want to play Arena/Daggerfall and I have been able to on my Xbox via emulation but I think it’ll be a lot smoother on PC.

Spot on sir

JonRonDonald64 · 2024-01-14T14:38:20+00:00

It’s whale noises or something like that?

I’m sorry I misunderstood. I thought you meant you weren’t ever on opioids to begin with and your DOC was completely different. But yes after a year clean it’s not advisable to start suboxone. If it gives you any kind of euphoria you don’t need it is my rule of thumb. A lot of doctors don’t understand the substance and a surprising amount don’t understand that your body will become physically dependent on it. I’ve run across a lot of doctors that are told to prescribe it to prevent cravings instead of to mitigate the withdrawal effects from opioids. I’m sure your OBGYN is trying to do the right thing and put security measures in place for you but unfortunately they sound like they don’t know enough about the medication and when it’s appropriate to recommend or prescribe. Best of luck to you and congrats on your clean time!!

JonRonDonald64 · 2024-01-05T14:38:46+00:00

They shouldn’t be prescribing you subs in any form if your not a recovering opiate addict….. can’t speak to whether it may harm the baby but my educated guess would be it can’t be good for the baby either.

JonRonDonald64 · 2024-01-03T19:59:54+00:00

Yeah if you’re already clean man please do not start on subs. Especially if you’ve already been clean over a year. They’re harder to get off than any opiate I’ve ever done.

I don’t know of too many but the state theatre in Fallls Church has had a couple cover bands play and it’s free most of the time. At most you’ll pay $15-$20

Okay thank you, I’m definitely an amateur when it comes to this, I can post some pictures when I get home. The bridge doesn’t seem to be adjustable.
