dare straps

[dabootsy]

I HAVE A WARWICK THUMB THROUGH NECK WHICH IS A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF WOOD BUT SO HEAVY THAT I HAVE DEVELOPED A DODGY SHOULDER
HAS ANYONE GOT AN OPINION ON DARE STRAPS AND DO THEY WORK
AS IT IS A SHAME NOT TO BE ABLE TO PLAY FOR TOO LONG WITHOUT GRIMACING ON STAGE WHICH DOESNT LOOK TOO GOOD

I own a Warwick $$.Its great but heavy so I can Sympathize with your plight.Just try to find the widest strap possible,preferably in neoprene rubber(softer than leather).

I bought one. You are welcome to buy it off me. Works as a strapand may distribute the weight a bit better across your body, but didn't work for what I thought it might cure - a neck dive bass (telecaster shaped body). PM me if you want it, it's the D'addario one.

Comfort strapp seems to do the job for me. But i dont have a dodgy shoulder

Have you tried the t-bird neck dive fix on your bass?

I bought a NEOTECH neoprene strap from the States recently and it helped with the weight of my Stingray 5.

It's a tele bass I built. Pretty much like a G & L ASAT. I have found a good strap with some suede on the underside works well. ...nothing's perfect....A J is nice to strap on but a bitch to play on your lap, and this tele is a dream in the studio, sits nicely on the lap, gets all the tones I want but it is not the most confortable strap on....having said that, the positioning of strap pins can help some instruments but not all...if you have tried a Gretsch White Penguin you'd know......the neck gets 10 from the hi dive judges....

My tutor plays a aluminium necked small body bass from the 80's I think .. It's absolutely terrible to play in a normal position but he wears it Mark King style up around his trachea so it stays put. I just can't play it at all ...
