andy67 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Hey folks, looking for some advice/recommendations. Last October, I slipped and fell over onto my right side crushing my arm and shoulder into my side. It was sore but quickly disappeared however, about three weeks later the pain started! So, to cut a longish story short, I had been unable to do much for around 4 months until recently I felt well enough to practice with the band. The problem is that my left shoulder is sore from standing up playing bass with my current strap and I’m now looking for advice and or recommendation for a new padded comfy strap. Ta in advance, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I have several Comfort strapps which are hands down the most comfy of all the straps I have owned or tried https://thebassgallery.com/collections/straps/products/comfort-strapp-pro-bass 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Comfort Straps or Mono “ The Betty”, both great straps for this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha aye getting auld right enough! It appears the damage and subsequent recovery to my right shoulder and arm has caused injury to my left shoulder and arm also. I guess the left side had being doing the job of two for the last 4 months. I'm 55 next week and I've noticed that any injury has a longer recovery period! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
