Right side strap?

[BassAgent]

Yesterday I broke my left collarbone. I'm having surgery in a few days and would like to start playing again as soon as it's possible, but the bone itself might still be fragile for a while. So I was thinking to carry my bass on my right shoulder. Is there such a contraption, preferably one that is available in Europe? I found the Sling Strap which looks great but has to be imported from the States. Does anyone here have other tips?

You can hang the strap over your right shoulder, but the bass might slide off.

 

If it were me I'd just perch on a bar stool.

Yeah that's what I'm also considering but playing a set of Green Day covers on a bar stool... Meh.

I don't remember the names but several RH players have had the strap on their right shoulder. Try it!

What would Green Day do?

 

I reckon they'd do what Dave Grohl, Solomon Burke and Ozzy did when illness and injury happened. . . . they did the gig sitting down. If the bar stool is the wrong image, get one of those outsized thrones and plonk it in the middle of the stage.

 

The show must go on!!
