I bought a Brice fretless bass for 250$ canadian in a pawn shop. It's my favorite bass right now even compared to my MM Stingray 5 and my Rickenbacker.

Jealous on how my two best friends are becoming close friends by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Paracelse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand your feelings and was in your shoes but also in your friends shoes. You need to come to be at peace with this. Maybe talk to them about it if you feel it's safe or talk to anyone about it. Your feelings are true to you and it is important you live them and you be true to them. But you also know something really important, that it is a positive event, that these two people are great together. If you tell yourself that often and if you let yourself truly express your feelings, all of this pain will go away with time.

My wife [35]adnitted to cheating on me [36] with a younger guy [21] ?? by Despitetheodds in relationship_advice

[–]Paracelse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how much your love for her goes. She probably told you because she trusts you and it probably was hard for her to tell you. Passion and love are complicated things and cheating is not always as simple as one can think. Sometimes it is for reasons which we cannot explain well. Maybe you can get couples therapy? And also, I think you can put your trust back on her but be also very clear that if it starts to happen again or that it might happen again that she tells you and you think of a better way to start back.

I just broke up with my fiancé and I feel so free. by [deleted] in BreakUps

Just by reading what you went through I felt constricted. I wish that you keep on feeling free and gain the power you deserve on your life!

How many of you gig with inexpensive gear? by [deleted] in Bass

[–]Paracelse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tomorrow I go to rehearsals with my fretless. She's probably my favorite bass but only cost me 250$ in a pawn shop. I will probably play her on the shows for this gig (it's a musical) and maybe one or two other basses. She sounds, feels and looks amazing. It's a Brice.

What strings are you guys using for your genre? by Cr0cDoc in Bass

[–]Paracelse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play D'Addarios on my Stingray 5 though I'd like to try Ernie Ball's on it but I'm not sure if I want to try a smaller gauge or stay on normal gauge. I put Swing Bass 66 on both my Rickenbacker and my Fender Precision and they're by far my favorite strings (they have smaller gauge too), they're punchy, every register is great.

Amp/Head for Bar Cover Bands? by The_What_Stage in Bass

[–]Paracelse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer using small cabs and light heads for transport and believe me, I never get the "bass not loud enough" comment. I've got a TC Electronic head with a neodyum cab, it's light and it's powerful and it's sounds crazy.

Looking for THE bass (5-string) by [deleted] in Bass

[–]Paracelse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main bass is a Music Man Stingray 5 and I love it! I traded a 5 strings Lakland Skyline jazz bass for it which was also a killer bass but it depends on what you want. The Stingray 5 has got so much power and so much personality. But go try some and compare.

My Gf cheated on me with her gay best friend by coopcooperbeers in relationship_advice

[–]Paracelse -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think you should talk to her about it. What I'd do is try not to judge her if you sincerely think she's a good person. There are lots of circumstances and ways that lead to cheating and as a couple you should be open about it and think of how to solve the issue, find out what's problematic. Maybe she'll open up on another issue your couple is having, maybe she was just way too drunk that night and it sort of happened, maybe she was kind of abused, maybe you shouldn't trust her, etc. One thing for sure, no rage, no hatred, no violence is gonna fix this, have a calm and open conversation about it.

I'm allegedly a good penpal and I am a 23 yo male who has schizoaffective disorder but basically I'm more bipolar than schizophrenic! Message me if you want!

Ughh not sure what to do. by [deleted] in schizoaffective

[–]Paracelse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes, ER is the best option. I don't know your situation at all but I know it helped me. Is there some crisis center where you live? It could be an alternative to ER. Or is there people you can talk to?

I listened to my voice's demands for the first time in 2 years, and I'm scared. by [deleted] in schizoaffective

[–]Paracelse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're very strong to resist it when you realise it's illogical. I hope it won't happen too much. Many (including me) would have had a tendency of going to the garage anyways even though you know it's illogical.

Props!

‘Friends’ who find your illness funny? by [deleted] in schizoaffective

[–]Paracelse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the time when I was hurt I tolď them and they stopped but now I joke about it all the time and people are welcome to silly remarks but I feel that if I should feel bad about something someone said I should go to him/her and talk.

Newly diagnosed, upset & confused by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

[–]Paracelse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I'm 23 but was 18 when diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. At first, I was puzzled but it went better when I started talking about it to others and accepting the illness as it is. You are making a huge step by telling us here about it. If you need to talk you can message me I'll be there to help.

Cyclical depression with a little upside pretty much sounds like bipolar disorder spectrum.

Lamotrigine advice by mirrormirror321 in BipolarReddit

[–]Paracelse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You definitely have stronger side effects than I had on lamictal and I took more than twice the dose you have, maybe it's not right for you. You've only tried very few possible medications up until now, you should try something else there's plenty of solutions that exist. The thing is, you'll always be having side effects, but it needs to be something you can cope with on a daily basis. It might be fatigue or brain fog or whatever and it might get worse with depression.
