chris_b Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 My neck dive tip. . . . sell any basses that have neck dive and buy ones that don't. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleOhStephan Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 There is another, albeit restrictive option if back/shoulder pain is the issue... https://www.dv247.com/en_GB/GBP/Koenig-Meyer-Guitar-Stand-for-E-Guitar-High-grade-chromium-plated/art-GIT0007352-000?campaign=GShopping/UK&ProgramUUID=HADAqJarPzAAAAFlea9yjI.G&campaign=GShopping/UK&programuuid=HADAqJarPzAAAAFlea9yjI.G&gclid=CjwKCAjw-4_mBRBuEiwA5xnFICZmoqqFlWo2FvJnNCtRSkT5knuuLmyaUnX3tVh6amXD9Opndg0MCxoCWYwQAvD_BwE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it does for me is pulling my t-shirt and after a few songs it looks like I'm having a fight, and losing, with it. It requires a lot of concentration to keep the tummy in and pretend my stomach is flatter than it is... It does not work for me, unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 I'm talking about a light travel bass so adding a little weight to the back end really isn't a problem. I have serious problems with a shoulder and neck injury also I'm taking about cycling to rehearsals with this bass. Apologies for not making this clearer.

stewblack Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 As to the Fearless Flyers I do have this option as a last resort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josie Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 All acoustic basses neck-dive - attach strap to headstock, probably with a bootlace threaded under the strings above the nut. That works fine with an acoustic "look", but might look a bit silly on an electric. With my (semi) hollow-body EB2 and Jack Casady I find a wide grippy strap and very high neck angle (which is how I play anyway) are enough. My back/shoulder problems are nowhere near as bad as some above, but all my favourite basses are super-light and there's no way I'd add any weight to them. Or buy one that needed it.

stewblack Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 The reason for the travel bass is so I can cycle to rehearsal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
