NEUBD: NS Design Omnibass NXT5

[tauzero]

A little delayed, this one. Went down to London to pick this up. It has been advertised on BC but I bought it, plus the frame strap system, via Ebay.

 

It's a little tatty round the edges, no major damage though. The strings on it are NS strings, which have a good feel to them. I've tried the boomerang strap and the frame strap system - can't get the hang of the boomerang system yet, I'm hoping that I will with further practice.

 

I have a WAV-4, so I will also play with the tripod stand on that.

Try putting on the boomerang as if you were a "lefty" playing a bass guitar.

I've been following the pictures on the NS Design website:

 

 

It's not that I can't get the Omni into position, it's that it has a tendency to rotate about its long axis.

[Downunderwonder]

Try.

I gave it a shot with the harness on left-handed, longer arm uppermost, but it wasn't any help. It might just need the friction bolts tightening slightly.

[Downunderwonder]

Short arm high is also valid. Loose pivot definitely won't help.

I should have updated this. I tightened the friction adjuster and that improved things a lot.
