Nice! Do you find it more difficult to play standing up as opposed to sitting down?
Well, I started standing because my right arm kept getting tired holding it in that position for five minutes at a time. That doesn't happen anymore standing but the biggest problem im running into now is that standing i cant see all the strings. One thing I did notice, standing my tone seems to have improved, like there is more low end suddenly.
The Bassist - standing vs sitting is night & day. The low end you are noticing has always been there, it is the perception that has changed. By sitting, you are getting an ear full - literally By standing, you are receiving more of the rooms acoustic environment and noticing the amps true work at hand. The vision and feel by standing is a different atmosphere altogether, continue to do so. In time it will feel completely comfortable. Your mind and hands will eventually come together and you will overcome this - “not seeing the strings dilemma”.
Don't focus too much where the strings are, rather pay more attention to the fretboard markers instead. Everything else will eventually fall into place naturally.

+1 Exactly the same experience here! The sound comes at you via the walls and whatever reflects it.
Regarding the fretboard, I tend to look at it if my fretting hand changes position. If I'm really in the groove I don't watch at all. Don't force it, it'll come with time.
