I'm working on "Rudy, A Message to You" and I can't decide which positions to use. Open A is easier to play because it spans only 3 frets. But the 5th fret A sounds nicer, alas it has a 4 fret span, so more jumping around. What would you do?

I think it's a good idea to start learning simple adjustments to you instrument and this is a great video to guide you through those basics without ruining your instrument.

Finally at a place where I have a dedicated practice space, where I can leave eveything as it is and ready to use. But I struggle physically sitting / finding a good chair to sit in and practice. Standing is not a viable option due to physical issues. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you in advance.

As we get this thing started... ✅ Introduce yourself ✅ Why you love the bass? ✅ How long have you been playing? ✅ What are some obstacles you're running into? ✅ (Optional) What's you favorite imaginary (or real) Kung Fu move while playing bass?

So glad I came across Bob's channel by chance other day and joined here. Other channels on Bass I watch for tuition are Stevek on bass, Rich Brown find these two tutors explain things slowly and perfectly so beginner bassist can take in and understand. Also watch SBL Scotts Bass Lesson,Dan Hawkins,ebass guitar James Egan good content but sometimes a bit too quick showing and explaining too newbies I find
