My other basses' trussrods work the opposite way. Maybe you have a point...

I move the rear strap button from the butt-end of the body to the back of the body, just inside the belly-curve and mid-way or so up the length of the body.
It sounds weird, looks odd and feels a good bit different... The headstock is now closer to you and the neck-dive is gone. I started doing this when I had a problem with my wrist a few years ago. This a charm for me.
I recently found out that even my superleightweight Ibby with its toothpick headstock starts to dive a little bit, when I wear more "slippery" shirts. So no hawaii shirts, silk or velvet.
What's even better is when the grippy strap pulls the back of your shirt up and you get a cool breeze.
Yeah. That's why super heavy cotton shirts are the best tbh. They stay on your body and on your strap.

Very nice. Are they the Hong Kongbuckers, Scott?
Still waiting on my pair- something about China Post stopping them because they are magnetic. Another set sent yesterday.

If that EB0 for 120€ is still available in feb I'll buy it and might put one of those in the bridge position.

While I am a Nonreverse guy it doesn't mean I have not lusted after the Reverse. My first was a Tobacco Burst 76' bought that same year soon to be followed by my first NR. In the end the NR was for me but thanks to Entwistle, Martin Turner and Overend I still a have a very soft spot for the reverse.

Lemmy's Rickenbackers, how many did he own and which was the Iconic one?
Check out his 'knowledge' about T-Birds. Headstocks breaking off.

Haha so you wear your skirts scottish?
Good Lord - you mean our queen dresses in full highland tradition?
Dang it, that's what the bow is for! You so need a heinie bow with long tails so when the bass causes your outfit to ride up no one gets a free show!With certain skirts and basses.....they ride up and pretty soon I'm showing off a lot more "leg" that I want to...
Highlander & Queen are a proven combination, a quasi tribute by our very own I guess.
