760, The # of The ProBuckers, A for neck, B for bridge.
Ok, that was corny and lame as all ....

Then it should be 760N and 760B. Not corny and lame, observant. But dude! Shoes!

[edit] Kat beat me to it. Living up to the name.

It's vegan salami, though.

You're not helping.

Well, then, here's this (again):View attachment 3410372

that bass must hate you..

The Flamingo will be shipped tomorrow or Friday, meaning it should land late next week sometime. Any interest I had in any other gear has now been at least temporarily extinguished.

Am I the only one who saw something other than salami here?

Interesting pin placement, never seen that done before.
So does your strap go over your left shoulder, around your back, and then around your front towards your belly (kind of a standard strap routing); or do you just hang the bass on your left shoulder only; or I guess you could possibly just put your head and left arm through the strap so it actually hangs on your right shoulder. Which is it?

First surmising was correct, the strap goes over my left shoulder, wrapping around to nearly in front of me, and buttons in via Dunlop Straplock (TM) at the inside of the belly-curve. The further-up location of attachment pulls the whole instrument to the right, bringing the headstock/nut/lower playing positions closer to my center. This means my left hand doesn't have to extend so far to reach them. I have a small tendon issue in my left arm, and this totally alleviates it.
This new strap position also brings the tail end of the bass way past me on my right, pronounced in this case more so because of the length of this design. It's a little extreme, but it works for me- it makes playing so enjoyable, to not be dealing with ergonomic weirdness.

Re-pic:

Ok those last three are backwards. I am not a regular selfie-taker, but you get the idea.

Comfort is what it's all about!

Nope. From day one.

 

[Count Bassie]

Yep, then you're free to play!

I don't need much to be a happy camper...

I think the guy with his evil Girl Scout Cookie Dealer girlfriend who comes with the bass is more amusing.
