Double Bass Strap for NS Design instead of tripod

Ok guys, well it's been several days now and I'm getting used to the harness. It's actually kind of cool having slung diagonally across instead of trying to have it standing upright. I don't have to raise my elbow so high this way so it might help some rotator cuff issues I've been having. I feel like it's a completely different instrument with the strap. It's like an oversized EB, but even better because I can til the fingerboard upward. Being this way, it seems to make it less stressful on the wrists than how an EB's fretboard points outward. Rakes are much comfortable this way.

It's not a perfect harness but it's cool in its own way.
