Seems a bit silly to have a really cool plexi bass and keep it hidden away though Edited January 21, 2013 by uncle psychosis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telebass Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 It IS a shame. It will get any sit-down gigs. But too heavy to play for more than a song or two at a time. Ah well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 What type of strap did you have it on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telebass Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Four-inch wide plain leather. needs something much beefier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telebass Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 No, it's one built by a Basschatter. For those that didn't see the build diary, here's links to the final pics from the build. It doesn't wear the Badass any more, but apart from that and some new TI Jazz Flats, it's the same. Swapping out the Badass saved nearly half a pound!

Telebass Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) I have ordered a Sling Strap from Slinger Straps and see if I can gig it a bit more using that. The only possible fly in that ointment is that it may pull my trousers down!

Telebass Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) I have the strap! It seems to help, maybe I'll manage 4 songs before I quit this time! On a more irritating note, HMRC managed to skin me for £14.14 on top of a $50 packet. Bastards. Anyone who wants to see this comedy attempt, be at the Trout & Tipple in Tavistock around 9pm... [size=4]EDIT: this bass has already done studio service for RRO's first album of original material. It sounds great![/size] Edited February 2, 2013 by Telebass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telebass Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Played a whole set with it! To make it comfortable, I actually kept the original 4" strap on as well as the slinger, so weight was really well distributed. Bit of a faff getting it on, but I could probably have done the entire gig. No aches or pains today either, unlike the first time I tried it! Result!
