TheGreek Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 With so many of us suffering with bad backs why doesn't somebody build/adapt one of these for bass players? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Saxophone-Shoulder-Strap-Adjustable-Harness-Tenor-Baritone-Sax-Black/311932367662?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D49130%26meid%3Db7ebbc26cbe14c929c602c223e55ac63%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D122147608513%26itm%3D311932367662&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Have you seen the Gruv gear duo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 This...a mere £69. There are full leather Sax harnesses which spread the weight evenly for significantly less: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rayzm-Saxophone-Strap-Universal-Double-Shoulder-Leather-Strap-for-Sax-Padded/222705593256?epid=6008607360&hash=item33da49aba8:g:MPwAAOSwnw9Z~QMo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) I was suffering from a bad back up near my left shoulder thru working in garden and decided on one of the Gruv Straps. Fantastic piece of kit altho you need to make sure you get the right length of strap as they don't have a great range and more suited to players that have their bass higher up than traditional rock players. They do make an extended version tho but when i bought mine they weren't available in UK yet. I lengthened mine by using a good quality leather belt and punched the correct size holes in it. My shoulder is now good and i only use the one strap now and its still the best strap i've ever used. I know other companies have similar things Check out Bass Direct that's where i got mine.

christhammer666 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I have not seen it but Tom Araya from Slayer has a bass harness as he had his neck operated on. God knows how his works as you cannot see it visibly live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
