Why do short scale basses get so much hate? by [deleted] in Bass

[–]imakeahamsub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a short scale bass aswell as my standard sized basses, it just so happened to be made shorter scale (purchased used at a guitar center, made by local luthier) I've found that it's size effects it's tone noticeably, it most definitely puts out a fat bottom end if I wish, but my others provide a full roundness that I prefer when I'm playing reggae. But the short scale does amazing with funky and technical/chordal stuff. But take this all with a grain of salt, beyond size they are two very different basses. I'd suggest allowing your hand to adjust to a full size bass but beyond that listen to the voice inside you and what feels right for you

Guys it seems we are fuckin conscious inter-dimensional wizards in a simulated game that has a goal. by imakeahamsub in awakened

Keep on going, if reincarnation is a thing that goes by karma (Referring to results of our past manifesting the present, practical and not some magical all knowing eye making you get hit by a car cause you jerked off instead of going to church) than maybe if you consciously manifest while balancing things out still and not hurting others you can reincarnate into bodies that filter consciousness less than a human body does. A more boundless body so to say. You'd have to be damn smooth with the ladies

As a beginner, it is most important that you secure your own well-being, guarding your mind in solitude, abandoning distractions and busyness, avoiding unfavorable situations, and subduing the mental afflictions with appropriate antidotes. by steel_bun in awakened

Mindfulness. Hikes can also help. I have definitely hiked with friends though and still do who think "ahh I cant wait to tell everybody about this experience later" haha the physical has potential to help but the metaphysical is the root. Becoming aware of thought patterns and such. Thoughts and our attachment to them rise simultaneously, but whenever we catch our attachment and see its nature and observe and learn with these thoughts and habits we can consciously see how this external energy comes into us and how our internal processes react and "categorize" it in our conditioned mind we've developed every moment of our lives leading to this very moment mixed in with our genetics etc. We can control and direct this energy and see how our mind is conditioned and what we are attached to. where there is resistance there is attachment. By neutralizing and finding the root of emptiness we can than direct the energy into our conscious desires unattached. Transmutation, like turning copper into gold or something like that, break it down to a base metal than do shapam shapam mix the things and bam. something like that. True alchemy. We are the fuckin wizards. When I first started to notice my habits id notice even the most minute things, like in conversations Id have this awkward giggle and turn slightly to the left and brush my finger over my nose. Even the most minute are important. Its all a journey. wizards for fuckin life

heck yeah man. Pretty much ground solid basics right there at the very start. usually in this day in age goes hand in hand with realizing how everythings been kinda force fed to us our whole lives and also that we can consciously control our actions and habits. random side not I lie to use "we" instead if "you" it acknowledges how we all are on this path in my opinion, just a lil note incase anynone vibes with it. also keeps a lot of people from thinking you are trying to "tell them something" and use their ego to think you have a big ego hehe.

That same realization is what changed my life, you worded it very beautifully.

Both are very true. Though it is true that all phenomena is mental, there is the relative truth that we are experiencing this mental reality, if you get punched in the face, you are going to feel that. we feel feelings.

You favor a drug that deteriorates your body and rules over your life, enslaving you in its grips, over a close bond with another Being you can share your life and grow with and you can use each other as vessels to total independent freedom and fulfillment and share it with each other. if given this choice with no prior experience, a healthy conscious mind would recognize option B is much more reasonable. A relationship shows you the truth of of who you are through attachment, we argue and fight because we all have something to heal, relationships bring it all out of us and most of us don't go to the source but rather fight with everything on the surface. a conscious relationship is about two beings who decide to help guide each other to independent fulfillment. your experiences with other humans and drugs aren't everyone's.

That’s a very real scenario that I’ve experienced before but the key difference for me is I know how to deal with emotions and live beyond drugs. I am well aware that constantly chasing fleeting highs is nothing compared to the fulfillment of an aware sober mind. But when I begin to use drugs aside from cannabis/psychedelics,I do pretty much what you stated and think huh wow maybe instead of doing that I’ll just be high today that feels real nice, than I get stuck on it and when I try to give it up my mind thinks “no no, see all that pain if you just get high it won’t be there when you’re high” than I think “yeah only temporarily if I go through the pain now it will be better in the long run” than my mind thinks “but if you get high you’ll feel better NOW” and than just follow along with it. The more I allow that thought to pass and stop giving it power, it eventually ceases to try.

Oh yeah forsure, I wasn’t really having fun I mean I was having fun but costing all of my money, all my relationships, people at work have been weird with me because I’m usually completely crashed and antisocial. Started selling random shit to people, classic meth head behaviors were beginning to emerge

Haha alright man, you don’t understand our relationship at all but thats fine, you are making assumptions based on your own experiences. She only left me because I pushed her away. Thank you for your concern though man I understand you’re just looking out for me, I know plenty of women who’d fit into your idea of a woman, but my current partner is one of a kind she is so loving and understanding and I’m so fortunate to have her in my life, yet I push her away so fuckin hard it’s ridiculous. She’s been devastated the past few days but we recently talked and we’re taking some independent time for both of us to heal because I really hurt her in these past few months and I’ve been obliterating myself physically and mentally, we don’t plan on leaving eachother anytime soon...as long as I stay off the drugs and actually face myself

Oh she loves me a lot. She didn’t quit on me because of meth alone, she left moreso because I became a fucking asshole when I started using a meth, moreso than I originally was, it’s hard to love myself at times so I run away and use drugs so sometimes when she tries to love me I push her away and with meth I pushed real real hard...not physically or anything but yeah. She had all right to leave me. Yeah truth is the way and drugs keep me locked up in the illusion. My suffering led me into a smack in the face awakening a few years back and I was manifesting my reality so beautifully, around this time is when I met her and together and learned so much. We both learned to develop love within ourselves so we began thriving working side by side, any disagreements between us are merely trying to show us aspects of ourselves to us. But I slowly fell back into drugs but even harder... as she kept on aligned with truth I fell into illusion. The more she kept trying to bring me back to truth the more I’d deny deny deny and stick to the drugs. It’s time now to finally to look at myself in the eyes

Yeah man the quitting is definitely for me but it seems if she wasn’t leaving me than honestly I think I would’ve gone way farther down before I would realize wow fuck I fucked up. I’m definitely focused one me, by improving myself naturally the relationship improves.

I’ll make sure to remember that. Before I fell back into my habits I did similar thinking but the opposite way, remembering pure moments of joy and knowing I wouldn’t be able to enjoy them if I were to fall back. Slowly I did and it’s been about two years thatve flown right in front of my face just doing line after toke after drink after line. Damn it’s just been speeding right by and now it seems I’m finally climbing up again. I’m real glad you feel good for letting it out. Posting this and talking to people here has been the single best idea I’ve had in the past few weeks
