ahpook Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 the strap button on my dearmond starfire is currently at the heel of the neck and it makes the bass hang forward....quite uncomfortable to be honest i'd like to move it to the top horn to improve the balance (see attached...) thing is, i'm worried that the wood there is far too thin to support the weight of the bass and the strap button will just pull out and damage the bass. i've though of trying to inject something like polysestger resin into the upper horn using a flexible bit of pipe, but this sems a bit hit and miss.... any ideas ?

neepheid Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 A thick, wide suede type leather strap helps. What kind of strap are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickeyboro Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 This is a major thread resurrection I know, but has anyone heard of a metal bracket you can fit on to the existing button to provide a more suitable playing angle? O am I hallucinating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
