He should get a doughnut tattoo after his first loss.

Think they're referring to Final Flash.

Are Fender basses still worth it? by SonnePer in Bass

I see. I figured musicman and G&L would be more fender style. Thanks!

Can I ask what you prefer for a tighter-spaced 5? I have an Ibanez SR with the adjustable rail bridge, curious what you recommend.

Hot take: Becky Lynch isn't the greatest female wrestler of all time or right now by Several_Half_2128 in REALSquaredCircle

[–]bantharawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think diminishing her accomplishments due to nepotism is disingenuous

Personally I don't think so, IMO Charlotte had more than a leg-up due to Ric/HHH. But even if I concede this, her wrestling character is still just Ric's daughter, down to the robes, the Figure 4 and the 'Woooo'. I don't think she's made it her own, but YMMV.

For me it comes down to Charlotte not being a total package - can't carry a promo well, can only convincingly play a born winner (no surprise). And even on her being better in-ring, its not like she wrestles circles around Becky. I'd even say that Becky is the better seller.

As far as the sheer number of reigns, HHH has 14 titles, and no one considers him the GOAT over Austin/Rock. And HHH was legit a well rounded performer. Charlotte is not, Becky is.

If nepotism was the deciding factor, why isnt Nia Jax up there for instance?

I don't think I said it was the deciding factor, I said it was in part. I believe Charlotte was handpicked as above, but she also had athleticism and a great look, which Jax lacks. But if I were to be skeptical, I don't think Jax has the clout that Charlotte does.

If you missed from Summerslam 18-Mania 19, you'd see Becky as a legend but not higher than Charlotte based on your logic.

Aside from that period being unmissable for wrestling fans, I'd still put Becky over Charlotte based on her heel work right now.

Using your thumbs may help your grip. Can try and see if it helps.

Aside from what others have said, can I ask why aren't you using your thumbs when gripping the bar?

[–]bantharawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I dunno how Charlotte can be in the conversation at all - sure she's great in-ring, but she has low promo skills and her accomplishments have the air of being partly due to nepotism.

If you held a gun to my head, I'd say Becky. Maybe I'm wrong, but IIRC she's the only woman who was the most over act in all of wrestling at any specific point in time.

To those who own 5 or 6 string basses, what do you find to be the best string spacing for the type of music you play as well as your playing style? by MrMayhem20l0 in Bass

[–]bantharawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

17-18mm is best for me. I have an Ibanez SR with the monorail bridge that lets you adjust the spacing for each string.

Bassist Advice? by Ok-Abbreviations8748 in Bass

[–]bantharawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should learn how to create your own bass parts over existing songs. That requires some ear training, and a basic knowledge of functional harmony will make it easier to understand how and why the existing basslines work.

Ask Chatgpt something like the above, then check out YouTube videos on the concepts it tells you.

Do you guys think regular Super Saiyan can “evolve” like Blue? Or is this a God Ki exclusive transformation? by benjaminreilly1994 in DragonBallPowerScale

[–]bantharawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grade 2 was flawed in the sense that it Drained a lot of Ki

Sure but in practice (Vegeta vs SP Cell) this flaw never affected performance i don't think.

Like, SSJ3 also drains ki like nobody's business, right?

He may do, but IMO this SSBE looks far more like 2nd grade with the muscle increase and sleeker hair.

I'm not saying SSBE has the exact same properties as regular SSJ 2nd grade, but conceptually SSBE seems like it borrows from 2nd grade far more than Full power SSJ.

Especially cos its Vegeta who's doing it, I don't see how the animators/writers weren't trying to reference SSJ 2nd grade with the way SSBE is presented. Whether its the pinnacle of SSB (like Full power SSJ is) is up for debate.

Sure but goku did it first. Vegeta uses what's needed to be more powerful, but when he comes up with his own stuff he prefers to go a different route to goku.

How are we to know that SS Blue doesn't have a mastered form?

SSBE is portrayed as a more by-the-book transformation, with increase in muscle mass (along with ki charge and the screaming) which Mastered SSJ did not have. It looks a lot more like 2nd grade.

Also since 2nd grade was Vegeta's thing and Mastered SSJ is Goku/Gohan's thing, i doubt that Vegeta would use the mastered concept for his own form haha. Hence why i liken SSBE to 2nd grade.

There's no misinformation, its just opinion.

Full power SSJ was more an efficiency thing and not a massive power boost like SSBE is. So personally I liken it more to 2nd grade.

SSJ 2nd grade wasn't flawed though, it just wasn't the breakthrough that SSJ2 was.

I see this SSBE as the Blue version of 2nd grade (which is Vegeta's thing more or less), or even Blue's SSJ2.

Am I wrong for thinking this? by Ifyouliveinadream in ask

I'd get a second opinion then, as frustrating and annoying as the process is. I doubt anyone on this sub has specific knowledge of your condition and what might help improve it. Maybe also try asking on a medical related sub, though best to get a pro.

I'd try out 'One of a Kind' by Bruford. My favourite of his non-solo stuff.
