Hi everybody.
This thread is about which famous bassists wear the instrument the highest and the lowest. To me, they are Mark King and Robert DeLeo. What I want is: If you know even more extreme players, please post some pictures or links to see them in action. Thank you in advance! |

Highest: Mark King
Lowest: Robert Turjillo (ridiculous, he has to sew three straps together to get the right length)
EDIT: I just read Matt Tills post, lol. I guess he uses three straps , I thought it was two also, but then I read the Marcus issue of Bass Player, and his tech mentions having to sew three.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2002 Location: Edinboro, PA | | | I know. I was thinking, I should take a picture of myself with my bass as high as it can go and submit it, but then I thought I'll just end up lookin' like Q. Bear. So, I just found a pic of him. Saved me some time.
