Need advice in reducing Neck Dive - Mustang PJ...

[Outbush]

I have a new Fender MIM Mustang PJ and love everything about it except the neck dive.

I have a 3.5" neoprene, padded strap which helped but still strains my left shoulder and arm while playing. I tried two other PJ's at a local shop and they both had the same problem.

Would light weight tuners help that much and, if so which ones? These are short scale and I can't imagine how bad they would be if they had an extra 4" of neck!

I don't know how much weight reduction will solve the problem but was hoping that someone out there might have a solution. Help!

Sorry to wake up such an old zombi thread, but did you solve the neck dive issue on this bass?

Yes, sir! HipShot Ultra Lite Tuners + Badass Bridge = No Neck Dive .

Cool - I'm starting to get a bit interested in these shorties everyone is talking about. Thanks for the reply.
