"'Nerd level' bass height!"

[Wood and Wire]

Hi,

At a park concert I played in Costa Mesa, when a female sound tech/stage crewmember saw my playing style, she told me about "the three b's" of bass position. I told her I was unfamiliar with those positions. She informed me, "Belly, Belt, or Balls." She didn't say if she had a preference.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

I'm definitely in the Balls camp - it just where my hands naturally gravitate towards...

My friend wears his bass to high for my liking, and he's using an Adventure Time strap - I shall have to bring this to his attention.

Picks too, although the picks are terrible - only really ornamental.

I always thought that your bass should "hang" in the same place sitting or standing. That's pretty much what I do.
