bass straps

[ffejwarts]

Recently purchased a player series Fender Mustang. Love the bass, great tone and punch. But I find it has a neck dive, more than expected. Any suggestions for what type of strap could help eliminate some or most of the dive?

Something with a suede backer may help

This may be an option you could try. Worth a shot I spose

Well going to a wider strap can help without adding a big amount of weight.
I did use a cornbag when all I had was a skinny nylon strap. It worked.

I use a Levi's leather strap, but Bully Thakidd did a review on a strap that helps with the weigh of the bass and also help's with neck dive. I gonna order one since it isn't to pricy.

Fender brand strap locks. Just use the front pin. It extends the strap about 3/4” forward. That was enough to fix my rosewood neck P bass.

The 4" Italia suede-backed strap is very comfortable, and it stays put. I have four.

Thanks, JakobT. I'll look into them.

I make what Killing Floor is referring to. They do help. Or, you can go to your local hardware store and pick up small round plastic disk with a hole in the middle for that purpose as well and, stack them to the desired length. Believe they are in the plumbing area. Just need a longer screw.
