Gust0o Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Somewhere between crotch and knee. Lower for finger technique, a touch higher for pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Covering belt & b*lls. I play so that my right arm is virtually at full length, as I`ve a right shoulder injury, and playing like this is the most comfortable. I find it easier to play higher up, but ease versus no-pain, well no-pain wins out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seashell Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Just my opinion and all that, but Chest... impossible with my figure and also doesn't 'look' right. And wouldn't feel right, especially as I don't slap. Stomach.. this is about where I have mine Crotch... optimum place to get 'the look' I think. Unfortunately it doesn't feel right for me. Probably because I'm still watching the fretboard too much when I'm playing and I can't see it properly when it's this low. Maybe one day... Knees..hmmm. I think this is going a bit beyond cool, so that it almost looks naff. if you see what I mean. Apologies to anyone who plays like this though, I'm sure it's the best thing for you and your audience.

fumps Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Body is on me captain winky but the neck pulled up. I've always played my bass like an upright if that makes any sence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lettsguitars Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 As long as your wrist isn't at a silly angle damaging your tendons then wherever feels right for you. Your hand and forearm should be more or less straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 [quote name='skidder652003' timestamp='1357771697' post='1928320'] at the same height as i have it when im sitting down. [/quote]Yep me too. When I get a new bass I pay with it sitting down with the strap attached and the adjust it until there is barely any difference when I stand up. This strap then belongs to that bass. [IMG]http://i308.photobucket.com/albums/kk344/ezbass/P1080151.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_Bass Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 the strings sit around my nuts but with heavy bands I will go a bit lower and he neck will be fairly angled. with covers band a smidge higher, as I generally play for longer sets and therefore prefer a smidge more comfort over style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
