I really, really thought you were going to say "Here's what you do: take the top-heavy bass off and throw it away. Now pick up a J-bass. There. Problem solved." But this is actually the perfect hack, thank you!

Unfortunately, my j-bass also has a neck dive. But this tip works.

So simple and such a cool idea. I have in the past seriously added a heavy chain to the end of my strap, looped a hammer into the end of the strap, and when those “fixes” didn’t work, locked the offending neck-diver into its case forever. Great hack. Thank you!

Thanks for useful tip man, i have a 2nd jack as my strap button and it always lets go the strap due to it's thin end on nose dive angles. You just saved me from doing extra headstock repairs due to accidental drops!

Thank you for this! i just bought an old Hamer bass, and it didn't have a strap on it when i tried it out at the pawn shop. (i bought it because it was so ugly and unique.) got home and realized it was actually better than my main bass. but when i put a strap on it it just took a huge nose dive. so i looked it up and found a bunch of mods but i have no time because i go on tour in a few days. this just saved me! thank you so much!

WHAT!!!! This is the one single greatest idea to come out of the world of guitars since Leo invented the bass. You should be in the music history books for this epic idea. By the way that bass sounds insane its like both guitar and bass at the same time. Fire the skinny string noodling twiddler from the band.

I'm using a carabiner looped around the strap and then one of my belt loops for similar effect. It's nice, because I don't have to unhook my strap to do the hack. Just clip the carabiner on the belt loop after you get the strap over your head and you're good to go.

@themomozone 3 жыл бұрын

awesome , i had tryed that but found that it wasnt tight enough for me as the carbiner slid up and down a bit and i like it tight with no movement at all ...but if i punched a hole in the perfect place for the leanth of the carabiner then nothing would slide around !!!! either way im happy you found a way my friend, have an awesome day and thanks for checking this video out, you rock M

@NoLifeKingRL 3 жыл бұрын

@@themomozone Ah yeah that's a good point about it sliding around. I have found that to be annoying. I'll probably stick with the carabiner for practice, but if I'm ever good enough to perform the belt would be the clear winner for sure. Cheers!
