how do you hold your BALLS?

[bass addict]

I tend to carry my Stingray 5's up high for the most part, but have my 30th Anniversary slung super low. I think part of it is due to the style music I play with each one. Ho does everyone else carry them and what syles do you primarily play?

I do mostly punk and some metal on my 30th and more funk/soul/groove stuff on my SR5s....

 

[phatduckk]

i play punk and i used to play the bass slung "meium" cuz i thought raising the bass would help stop my picking hand from cramping.... well, it didnt so im slinging it low now

 

[Aussie Mark]

Classic rock, blues, blues/rock, Top 40. Slung "medium to low" I guess. Or, "extra low" on the Bovine/Armybass scale.

 

[RitchieDarling]

I adjust my strap so the bass is in the same position when I am standing as when I am sitting down.

Have done for 30 years.

I play mine pretty much right in the middle. Well, like this:

I play a lot of classic rock with a variety of other stuff mixed in.

 

[Caca de Kick]

I guess about waist level for me....

 

[saxnbass]

Well, it seems to me higher than those posted already.
I'll get a pic soon, can't find one right now, though I thought I had one.

i play my SR5 high,i have seen higher mind you,i just like to have full control and play more funky stuff,

i play lower with a four string,i like to rock it out with the four stringer

 

[jamesattard]

i play classic rock tunes and adjust my stingray to medium-low. I find it ideal (both playability wise and image wise) and helps me using the floating finger technique even on the E string since i don't rest my thumb on the pickup.

I love that bass!!!! Can't wait for my BD Bongo.

 

[DTG]

cheers Eric,
it is by far the best MM i have played and defo the best colour,
you will love your BD finish!!

 

[roballanson]

About the same height as DTG for me for both basses....essentially just a little lower than where is sits on my lap....a vague attempt to stop my hands and forearms cramping sometimes....

 

[adouglas]

Mine's about where DTG has his, maybe a bit higher.

Psst...DTG...the strap is supposed to go over the other shoulder. Just a little tip from yer ol' Uncle Andrew.

 

[DTG]

thanks Andrew....i might just try that

nice Bongo....never taught i would hear myself say that,maybe i am leaning toward the dark side


Still

say no to Bongo!!

 

[adouglas]

Heretic!

Blasphemer!

Guards! Sieze him!

 

[Melissa]

Lower than I'm suppose to with the metal/rock like our band plays, higher with more classical stuff like Bach.

 

[Moondog]

slightly below the waist . .

 

[Mobay45]

The neck plate is usually just about the right over my belt buckle. That's the reason my shirt is usually untucked.

 

[tkarter]

Mine is so it is the same height standing as it is sitting.

Neither position makes for a pretty picture.
