It only works if you wear the bass quite high I think, it certainly doesnāt work for me with this bass, it just pops out again. Quote

JoeEvans Posted May 17, 2023 Posted May 17, 2023 If you don't spend much time up at the top of the neck you could put a strap.button on the lower horn. Quote

Lfalex v1.1 Posted May 18, 2023 Posted May 18, 2023 Ā Top front neck plate screw position works fine for the bolt-ons. Nothing to stop you drilling a hole (!) for one of the Tokai is a neck-through. 1 Quote
Rayman Posted May 18, 2023 Author Posted May 18, 2023 Thatāll be where I go with it, if I canāt put up with it as it is,Ā although,Ā IĀ hateĀ it when the top of the bass hangs away from your body. Iāve sold a couple of basses that did that. Quote
Lfalex v1.1 Posted May 18, 2023 Posted May 18, 2023 Ah... I tried all the holes (did I just type that in an Internet forum?) Not all at once, because the neck would fall off... Ā If I used the upper rear-most screw, it didn't balance as well. Ā Either of the lower screws caused what you're referencing; The top edge of the body tips away from you.Ā Ā Top front screw doesn't do this as there seems to be more mass slung below it than there is above it, and that prevents the dreaded tipping.
