Can anyone recommend a good non-leather strap to counteract neck dive?

Pro Comfort Strap has always worked for me. Neoprene with double stitching for extra durability and it puts your bass on a diet! Complete transfer of weight across the back and evens out the balance of the bass. I used it with my old tbird bass and neck dive was minimal. Get the Bass version.

I've got one of these; the model that 'grips'. Plenty reliable and very comfortable. Of course, make your own oppinion on the graphics--I am blind, so...whatever.

 

Take a look at Neotech straps - www.neotechstraps.com

Very comfortable and grips.

 

Leather straps with a suede like underside helps to keep the from strap sliding around. Provides a little more grip.

 

Neoprene is made of chemicals derived from dead organisms. You're good if the fact that they died millions of years ago ameliorates the issue for you.

 

Million year old dead organisms are comfy

 

This strap worn studs in is the best for countering neck dive.

 

You could use calculus and interpretive dance to shorten the time period and expand the species so that recently dispatched cows would become copacetic.

BTW, my Sadowsky neoprene strap is the most comfortable one I own.

 

I was going to suggest swapping tuners, but see how the strap button is no where near the 12th fret? This is your massive neck dive issue, not weight balance.

A sticky (neoprene, etc) strap will hopefully help reduce the neck dive.

 

I got one of those Reunion straps on a whim. It was advertised as the "world's most comfortable guitar strap" made of 100% merino wool. It actually is very comfortable, and holds the instrument in place and etc., although I wish the holes for the strap pins were bigger.

Oh, and you gotta see this:

I went with a basic nylon strap, and then I bought this:

I cut a strip and used fabric glue to attach it to the underside of the strap where my shoulder makes contact. Works like a charm!

 

Both the Comfort strapp



and the Neotech Mega Bass Strap



will work for you and both are very very comfy...

I own both and favor the Neotech....however for super long sweaty gigs i go with the Comfort Strapp usually
