Owen Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Anyone use one? How is it? Does it hold the thing in a vaguely DB position? Ta, like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huge Hands Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Hi Owen, do you mean the boomerang strap thingy? I bought one, but I have to confess I've only ever tried it - I've not gigged with it. In my trial, it did manage to balance it in an upright position. I liked the idea of it but I felt that I wouldn't want to spend a gig with it over my shoulder - when I can just screw it to the stand and walk off when I want. Sometimes though, when I get a bit excited, I do want to swing it around a bit and the stand is quite limiting in that way. I probably should have gone for the end pin kit instead I reckon.... Are you anywhere near the South East? You'd be welcome to try mine.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Thanks for the offer, but I live in North Wales so popping over to try anything anywhere never happens I have the boomerang and it works fine with the Omnibass, but I am wondering about this one http://www.basscentre.com/ns-design-interchangeable-support-systems/ns-design-frame-strap-system.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huge Hands Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Aaah - ok - hadn't seen one of those before. The guy demoing the cello (or is it an omnibass?) with the cream top on - it looks a bit close to the body for me and I think his arm doesn't look as though it would be that comfortable. However, the shot of the guy playing the gig it looks better -perhaps he's playing a bigger double bass sized instrument? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Yeah, I am getting comfy with the boomerang on the Omnibass but fancy trying the other just to see really. I have the endpin kit for my EUB but I tend to stick with the tripod stand. I cannot imagine I will see the other coming up for sale 2nd hand any time soon so I will prob just have to front up and buy new (ugh!). I share your suspicion that getting either the Omni or the EUB to sit at a DB angle is not going to happen, but the NS stuff is pretty well designed so we might be wrong. The noises on TB seem pretty positive about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
