Any Viola/Violin Bass Strap Tips?

I have an Epiphone Viola bass and I can't tell you how much I love playing and recording with it ... when I'm sitting down. Standing, with a strap ... different story. Bit of a neck dive but that doesn't bother me nearly as much as the way the top of the bass hangs away from me. I've never had another bass hang this way. I realize this is because of how the strap hangers are placed but are there adequate solutions? Thank you.
