Absolute Beginner Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hi all. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to help combat the above.....? Many thanks, Fraser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I have an epi EB-0 with the same problem. A wide leather strap helps a lot cos' it grips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Connect the strap to headstock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel36 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 There was this thread here: By Turk http://basschat.co.uk/topic/213536-neck-dive-issue-sorted/page__p__2258831__hl__chronic%20neck%20dive__fromsearch__1#entry2258831 Great suede strap. Plus this guy with a bit on the forward roll. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qGYMgGwuyA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highwayone Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I had a wide suede strap for mine, the suede grips your t shirt/jumper/whathaveyou and stopped neck dive for me anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Kadoogan Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I have a Jack Casady bass and that neck dives too. As mentioned above a wide (the wider the better) strap with a grippy back makes the bass much better to handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Beginner Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hi all. Thanks for your responses. Can any of you recommend a particular brand of strap, and also, advise where to buy it from.....? Many thanks, Fraser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Stu Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I got my Levy one half price at a guitar show over 10 years ago; might be worth going to one of those you're interested or close enough anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
