NS Design Shoulder Strap System question

[Bobo_Grimmer]

Hey, I have a question for anyone who knows anything about these Shoulder strap systems for the NS Design EUB.

I'm left handed and my concern is whether or not this strap system is going to work for me. I can't find any pictures of these things straight on so the part of the strap that the bass connects to you can't tell if it's angled at all.

Is the strap 'universal' in any way or is it angled slightly to one side for a right handed person?

Here's a link to the strap [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/ns_design_strap_system.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/ns_design_strap_system.htm[/url]

Any help would be great.

thank you for taking the time to read my post.

Good evening, Bobo...

No experience with this, but having looked at the photos, I'd suggest that it's symmetrical, and could therefore be used either way. It may be helpful to ask the question of Thomann, though..? I've had occasion, in the past, to address them, and they've always replied rapidly with the informations requested. Worth an email..?
Hope this helps.

Aye, Thomann are pretty good with the support, I'd expect they'll be happy to address your questions. It's not a cheap strap so you are right to do some research.

Thanks guys. Yeah I'll wing them an email about it.

Hi Bobo - I bought one for mine, but I haven't really used it yet other than trying it on the day it arrived. I can have a look at it for you if you have any specific questions. I woiuld have thought the answer would be to somehow dismantle and turn the central mount around. Not sure if this is possible - I can check for you tonight?

Hey, Yeah that would be helpful sir thank you. All I'm after knowing really is if the main part that the bass connects to is square or if it's angled to one side or the other.

Hi Bobo - I forgot to look at it, but from memory, there is a central circular section, a bit like a tilt joint on a cymbal stand, so you can change the angle between the short and long arm. There is a bolt sticking out the side of it, which screws into the instrument. Therefore it is square on between the bass and the "boomerang legs". However, it is not a symetrical boomerang - i.e. one leg is not the same length as the other. Therefore, I would have thought that for left handed, you would want the bolt sticking out the other side of the pivot joint so that the long one sticks out at the top again. That is the bit I need to check for you as to whether you can do this. I'll try and have a look tonight.
