Chowny CHB-2 Neck dive

[NealeP]

Hi, does anyone else have a Chowny CHB-2 2017 model that suffers chronic neck dive, its wearing me out. I have never had a bass that suffers this issue before. Thanks for any advice you may have.

This happens with most semi-hollow long scale basses. Combination of long neck and light body. 

Jack casady Bass is especially notorious for it. 

A good wide strap with a rough back will go a long way towards alleviating this. 

Some people also add an additional strap lock on the upper horn - but if you do this make sure you glue it as well.

Hope this helps

No trouble with mine - I use a comfort strapp.
