STRAP problem!

Sign in to disble this ad
Heyy! I have a tiny problem! I own a Spector Rebop 4! And the neck of the bass keeps falling down when I'm not holding it... the balance of the bass makes it fall on my left! (sorry, I'm not english, so I have some trouble explaining it right)..

Is there any kind of straps or anything that make your bass stand still and not move when your hands aren't holding it?

Thanx for helping! And once again, sorry if I'm not clear enough

A thicker strap will fix that.

Yeah, I use leather straps with the inside unfinished - that way, they provide a little grip against sliding, but not so much that I can't slide the strap on my shoulder when I want to... None of my current basses have alot of neck dive, but if they did, I would get a 4" wide leather strap with an unfinished inside, and that would take care of the problem...
