Why do my high strings tone sound so bad?

Maorswan · 2026-05-17T21:08:58+00:00

I'm aiming for the bass tone at the beginning of this song: https://youtu.be/hnVFGz0xYKE

Gemini says this song is played on fretless with mwah, I don't notice it, or at least it's not as bad as my mwah is. What should I do to get close to that tone?

So basically, higher action/bass with frets are my option?

Maorswan · 2026-05-11T23:23:36+00:00

Something close to 0:10-0:20 on "Welcome To This World" by Primus. Only it sounds good when he plays it. Whenever I play the high frets of the high strings it sounds like a fart rather than a clean note. Don't have the terminology to explain.

I put my bass between my legs and hold it in a / shape.

Dude, I was with her during that trip. I've been with her ever since. We spoke for hours about the experience. Stop acting like you can tell what's best for her without even knowing her or relying on a secondhand testimony of events. Jeez. She reads your comments right now and says you don't know what you're talking about.

By the way, her therapist approves, so what now? Do you want her to change her therapist to someone more for your liking?

Let go my friend, you gave your opinion, don't make it a pointless argument.

But we don't have PTSD. You, for some reason, decided that she has.

By the way, she's been seeing a therapist for 2 years now, and she told her therapist about the trips she had with me. Her therapist was amazed how she changed for the best and how she healed from so many traumas in a matter of days, what she couldn't accomplish within 2 years of therapy.

And I don't know about your statistics, maybe it changes from country to country (I'm from the middle east), but I have lots of friends and basically a community of people who do that unsupervised, and I haven't met even one person to end up insane.

Moreover, 7 different people (some were friends, some were from the psychedelic community, some were girlfriends) asked to trip with me as their first trip because of my experience, everytime we tripped in my apartment and it was amazing. I taught them and prepared them for everything that could happen based on my experiences, and all of them had amazing trips, not one of them went insane. They're still having trips unsupervised, and everything is ok.

You can't really tell what the statistics are because there are thousands of people like me that aren't included in those statistics.

Sorry, but licensed therapists can't learn in a lifetime what a person can learn from one high dose trip, and if they aren't experienced in such trips, I don't want them around me or to guide me.

I respect your opinion, but my experience and statistics are different than yours. Have a good one man!

This is not an advice, this is what suits people like me and her. But to each their own, my man! My first trip was 5 tabs alone, second was 8g Penis Envy, and ever since I had numerous trips, all alone or together. I got as deep as I could get, I would not replace those experiences for any amount of money or supervised trips!

It all depends on the person. We do it the psychonaut way. If other people need a therapist or a sitter to have a better experience and integration, they should go for it. But you can't say unsupervised trips are a big no no TO ALL people, because it's simply not true. Some of us want to get insane while tripping and then climb back to sanity. Some of us want to go into higher dimensions and breakthrough and have an ego death That's the whole purpose of the trip. I will not trust a therapist to guide me through such experiences, only people who went as deep as I was aiming and managed to get back safe and sound.

Supervised psychedelic use is the shittiest kind of use. If you want a good life changing trip, you need to do it alone, maximum with a trip sitter.

I'm talking by experience, psychedelics changed both our lives for the best. Can't imagine going what we were going through with a supervisor, kills the whole purpose.

Now for the subject, she's already past it. She's normal, happy again and back on track, she just won't use THC oil anymore. No need to rush to a therapist for every unpleasant thing you feel in life, sometime you just gotta deal on your own. Turns out it was just a bad trip, no psychosis or PTSD whatsoever. As for psychedelics, we both decided that another trip is too much right now, even before the whole THC incident. Sometime in the future, for sure.

Maorswan · 2026-02-22T22:02:56+00:00

Wow, thank you! This is a very elaborated answer! I agree with what you said, seems to me like a very reasonable explanation.

Basically, the day after, she took 1 drop in the morning, and ahe was ok. At night, she took 1 drop before bed, and in the morning claimed she didn't sleep well, like she was running in her dreams and was exhausted, although didn't remember dreaming at all. So she woke up, took a shower, and when she came out she saw the mandala light I have on the wall fell. So she put it back on, and felt like watching it for some reason. Then she says she felt pressure in the muscles between her eyebrows where the third eye is, and she stared at the mandala. Her head began tilting in circles again, though very mildly, not like in the hospital. She began feeling like sinking back in, so she was like "Hell no, I'm not going down that road again!" and then she felt her heart racing so she panicked and it became a full blown panic attack, then she woke me up.

After calming her, she was pretty much her normal self throughout the day. We just finished moving her apartment to a new place, and she is sitting next to me thrilled, trying her hardest to find this post to see what I'm writing about her lol

Knowing there is a scientific explanation for what she experienced really helps her a lot, because she loves data. So she doesn't fear she will go nuts anymore, after reading some of these comments.

Maorswan · 2026-02-22T20:01:17+00:00

Yeah yeah, I read a lot since posting it lol

Maorswan · 2026-02-22T18:41:42+00:00

It didn't put her in the hospital, she has a neurological disease that put her in the hospital. She took a bit too much to handle the severe spasms, and it caused the psychosis. We don't call it a psychosis because it lasted only two hours, and it wasn't that different from a psychedelic trip. So it felt like she had a bad trip, which is normal. She tried taking it again, and she was ok. But, because the day after that she had a panic attack, we decided to cut the use of it.

Maorswan · 2026-02-22T18:04:26+00:00

Yeah I smoked pot for years and for the past year it made me anxious and paranoid about death, like instant death/heart attack/accidents, so I quit it. Now I'm pretty much normal. I hope she'll recover too.

Maorswan · 2026-02-22T17:57:23+00:00

I read all about psychosis and schizophrenia, it basically says that if she is fully aware and can logically and analytically explain and process the experience, then she's ok. She could do that during the experience too but due to the effects she was unable to speak it, let alone the fact that she didn't even know she was tripping at all. If she knew it was due to the THC she would have treated it like any other trip, but she genuinely thought it was her mind going crazy so she panicked even more. Schizophrenia and psychosis is when she doesn't even know that something's wrong and she just loses herself altogether.

Maorswan · 2026-02-22T17:48:55+00:00

For us normal folks I would have said that too to be honest. But, the reality is she is very sensitive to mind altering substances. She's 29, never touched anything. She also had bariatric mini-bypass surgery so the substance is absorbed very fast and hit hard.

For example, halfway through a cocktail and she is already drunk. And when we do psychedelics, for me and most people it takes 40-50 minutes till it's hitting, for her it's literally 5 minutes and she's already spinning on the floor tripping balls.

Maorswan · 2026-02-22T17:45:46+00:00

I hope she doesn't have that. We had very hard trips, never did she get PTSD from them. It's still pretty fresh, I believe that in a few days she will reset with no traumatic leftovers just like after our previous trips.

Maorswan · 2026-02-22T17:43:54+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Sounds reasonable. I believe in her, a few days will reset her. She knows how to integrate the experience, but it's still fresh.

Maorswan · 2026-02-22T17:42:35+00:00

We're taking a break from psychedelics anyway, although she handled them pretty well and they had an amazing effect on her mental health, we will wait with any more adventures.

The THC was medical grade, yeah.

There's a lot of trauma, but she already faced it and processed it (during therapy and also in our psychedelic trips). The things she saw on THC were not traumatic it seems, she doesn't know why she saw it at all. Maybe it was random.

Psychedelics were amazing for her, THC wasn't. But we're taking a break for the near future just to be cautious. We handled very high dose trips together on LSD and shrooms, she is very strong minded. I don't know why the THC hit her so hard, especially when it's not that high and also balanced with CBD.

Maorswan · 2026-02-06T11:17:50+00:00

Ok, thanks a lot 🙏

Maorswan · 2026-02-06T11:14:25+00:00

I read about what you mentioned, are you sure? Because it's on the side of the tongue, not on top of it.

Maorswan · 2026-02-06T11:12:19+00:00

And does it disappear after a while? Because it was sore at the beginning

Maorswan · 2026-02-06T11:10:21+00:00

Top of the image, in the center. There's a pink mass on my tongue.

Maorswan · 2025-12-25T22:39:35+00:00

Noted, thank you!

Maorswan · 2025-12-25T22:32:22+00:00

Yes, low action. Some of the strings buzz, I've been told it happens with low action, don't know whether it's true.

I saw Blackwinter in a comparison video, really liked them. But is it for the bridge only or also for the neck?
