[QUOTE=progmegood;13624511]Ben, did you send your disc?? Did you did you did you?[/QUOTE]

My mom said the post office wouldn't open today because of all the government run institutions being closed today, so I just took her word for it and am going to mail it tomorrow.

[QUOTE=HELLonWHEELS;13624496]I;m serious because I'm onnly 5'6 and I'm think a 10 pound 6er is going to be a bit much for me so i need a good strap. What straps do you guys use?[/QUOTE]
cheap ones.

i've got 2 straps that i switch between all my instruments. one is a terribly generic nylon black strap that came with my Crate starter pack. The other one is a rainbow nylon strap.

they serve me well enough, but mostly i just keep the black one on my telecaster and move the rainbow from bass to bass.

If I knew what a Moody Strap was, maybe I could answer the question. :p

I've just got a wide Levy's suede strap. It's fine for my 6'er, and I'm only an inch taller than you.

My Joe Satriani strap I use on my Agile guitar is nice and comfortable.

It's a 3inch one with a really nice nylon. My Agile isn't 10lbs though.. :lol:

Same height, I find my SR506 fairly light. I always just used one of those generic straps, made out of whatever material that is, it's pretty thin.

But then I broke my strap, so I haven't had one for several months. I always play sitting down anyway. Though I have spent qutie a bit of time playing while standing up, which is why I know that I don't find it very heavy.

What the hell does your height have to do with the weight of your bass?

I am only three inches taller and I play a six string. Granted, it isn't all that heavy, but it comes down to how much you can support, and having a good 3" strap will definitely eliminate the feel of some of the weight.

Why didn't you tell me you broke your strap? I could have sent you a free one!

Too late now!

So much work involved in mailing things!

If I do decide to send you one for the hell of it, it probably wouldn't be until next month, and then you could think of it as a Christmas present...















...unless you are Jewish...















...or black for that matter if you celebrate Kwanzaa. :amaze:

Haha, will do. I'm not sure how much shipping is yet, though, so it might only be an extra $0.50. :p

It's like a hug.

From behind.

With more friction.

Height doesn't have anything to do with the weight of the bass but it does have to do with width of yoour sholder which effects how light/heavy the bass will feel on you.

Alright, then you can receive one for Hanukkah if that is what you celebrate. :p

That and...





I can't think of anything else.
By the way, how did your paper come along?

Spaceman Spiff 11-13-2006 08:36 PM

Just be cool/ghetto and make a super strong strap out of duct tape. I'm not sure how many rolls it would take to make a good one, but I think 3 is a safe number. It would probably be pretty damn strong.
