help solve neck dive please

Some people have decades of experience, and others have one year of experience repeated 30 times over.

Perhaps the most brutally honest and true statement ever to be posted on an Internet forum EVER.

I see a lot of posts about neck dive but I can honestly say that in 34 years of playing and owning many basses from different manufacturers, I have never had this issue. Maybe you should consider getting a strap that actually stays in place.

I'm glad you've had a good experience. I've played a lot of instruments since my first Sears guitar in the spring of 1975, and I've had balanced instruments, neck heavy instruments, body heavy instruments, and all sorts of straps. A lot of time, a good wide strap can keep the instrument secure, but sometimes there is just a wrong weight bias on the instrument.
