Ben Jamin Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 So I put my back out last week after hauling PA gear around all week (I got a bit lazy with my lifting technique by the end of it) and then doing a long show on my G&L L2500 - a big block of swamp ash. The next night when I got there my bass had been set up on an 'Mbrace' - this little gadget that holds your bass and just screws onto a standard mic stand. You can adjust the height and angle and I actually found it easier to play, as you can step/lean from side to side parallel with the bass so you can get your arm in the perfect position wherever you are on the neck - something you can't do with a strap! I got a light grilling from the rest of the band but hey, it was really good to play and it totally saved me a hefty back-ache! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) My 2001 G&L L2500 is a special build in basswood with an ash cap so it’s light as any I’ve played ;-) I think this video shows it well Edited December 23, 2017 by Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkle Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Brilliant idea. Nice work. I'm almost tempted for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I’ve got one too. I’m waiting for hernia surgery so it’s meant I can still play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) That’s amazing. Saw Marcus Miller with something similar with a fretless on it for a few passages in a tune. Wondered where to get one from. (just as I’ve announced I won’t be gigging in 2018) Edited December 30, 2017 by AndyTravis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
