I use a variant that I bought from Stringbusters called a Brooklyn Gear Strap. Rubbery leathery thing that is both comfortable and provides a bit of help if you have a neck heavy instrument. Before this I vividly remember sometimes having to take the strap off my left shoulder and put it onto my right as it was so painful[/quote] I'd not heard of comfort strapp before but my advice was going to be along similar lines. Any decent wide strap with a bit of padding should do the job.

Hi, I've been lurking for a few days now so thought I better sign up and make my presence known. I've only been playing the bass for a few weeks now but I've been playing guitar for 12 years now. Although I picked up the bass through necessity (due to being the only one at my jam sessions willing to try) I'm thoroughly hooked. There's just something so addictive about pumping out those low notes. For the time being I'm playing a Squier Precision Special through a borrowed Marshall practice amp. I'm hoping to find a reasonable amp of my own soon but I need to decide whether I'm going to be gigging any time soon. Thankfully I'm currently content with my Squier. It plays well and has a fair amount of upgrade potential. No doubt GAS will grip me soon though. I've already been looking at some of the beauties up for grabs in the market place. My main focus at the moment is playing blues and classic rock but the eclectic tastes of my jamming buddies means I'll be dabbling elsewhere as well. Anyway, I guess I'll see you all around the boards
