In ear monitors, cable inside shirt, down back, strap pulls

[Robsco]

I've recently started using a pair of IEMs, which are working great, tho I have one problem...

When I run the wires from the monitors down my back inside my shirt, the strap of my bass pretty much secures it in place, which then means some head movements start tugging on it.

Rather than constantly have to yank up some loose wire, what do other people do?

Yank up some loose wire. Seriously. Once I do that, the strap keeps on keeping everything below that point in place and enough slack for head movement. Only other option I can think of is put on the bass first and the IEM cable on the outside of the strap.

I have my IEM cable on the outside of everything. I like to move and groove while playing and I always have problems with the cable is it under my bass strap.

I've got a clip I stole from a pair of sport headphones that has a hook for the wire and clip. I clip it to the rim of my shirt with just enough slack. In the past I've used Bobby pins to clip to my shirt.

I've managed to find a tiny clip, but may just try yanking enough slack for now.

I was thinking about going on the outside, but then when you put your bass down I imagine you'd be messing around with the IEM cable inside/outside your strap.

I'm not gonna be putting my bass down every 5 minutes to put out a fire, but still...

I use a elite core body pack on my strap and keep my cable ran up my back outside my shirt. So far no issues

i'd be scared to leave the cable outside my shirt, too much risk of it snagging on something
