I've just ordered a Dean EAB fretless acoustic bass, which I know only has a strap button located at the bottom. Should I try and use a mega-long strap attached at the rear of the nut, or should I add a new strap button somewhere else - not sure a bout correct terminology, the heel? Has anybody done this?
Any ideas welcome

Hi mate,
I've not done this on an acoustic bass but I've moved the strap button on my Dean Z to behind the neck where it meets the body (effectively it faces your stomach). This stoppped the neck dive I had when the button was on the side of the bass. I've also done this before when I had an epiphone thunderbird. As I said, it worked for those but I've not tried it on an acoustic.
Cheers,
Jim.
