I really, really thought you were going to say "Here's what you do: take the top-heavy bass off and throw it away. Now pick up a J-bass. There. Problem solved."
But this is actually the perfect hack, thank you!
+Dan Paveley , thats an awesome music gear joke dude, thats funny, but never the less yeah it totally works on top heavy instruments, no contests kind of stuff, thanks for checking it out and if you want to see some cool brain hacks, every friday i put up a new short 2 min motivation video that will keep your mind from going south..see ya
Unfortunately, my j-bass also has a neck dive. But this tip works.
Why do we all have to play the same basses?
Darn! Now I need to buy pants!
Oh man, this is beyond words! It is so simple I almost feel stupid. My thunderbird bass was driving me insane with that dive, but this is just wonderful! thank you very much and I wish you all the best!
hahaha, thanks Samuel , trust me it took me years to figure it out and when i did i said the same thing..how stupid easy it was...you rock bro M xoxoxox
I've never seen a 12 string bass ! There's always something new to learn ! 🙂
right on my friend, thanks for dropping by and have a great evening M
Perfect! This even keeps my pants from falling off!
+Pope Kyle Now thats what we are talking about, Multitasking oooh yeah...you rock ps i love pugs Momo
Jesus Christ, why do things have to be this easy and so obvious.
I know right, i thought the same thing when i figured it out, thanks for checking it out
Genius trick! Since our band recently moved into 8string guitar territory, your trick is higly welcome. We salute you, dude! Rock on.
thanks bro, you rock...so happy you 8 stringing out with the band....best to the band too my bro M xoxox
So simple and such a cool idea. I have in the past seriously added a heavy chain to the end of my strap, looped a hammer into the end of the strap, and when those “fixes” didn’t work, locked the offending neck-diver into its case forever. Great hack. Thank you!
That jam at the end is killing it!
thanks so much Jonathan , i wish you an awesome day M
Brings back memories from when our band had to Improvise Back in the 60s.
Thank you for this! i just bought an old Hamer bass, and it didn't have a strap on it when i tried it out at the pawn shop. (i bought it because it was so ugly and unique.) got home and realized it was actually better than my main bass. but when i put a strap on it it just took a huge nose dive. so i looked it up and found a bunch of mods but i have no time because i go on tour in a few days. this just saved me! thank you so much!
Right on Brandon, so happy this worked out for you...have a great tour and you guys sound awesome too M xoxox
Thanks for useful tip man, i have a 2nd jack as my strap button and it always lets go the strap due to it's thin end on nose dive angles. You just saved me from doing extra headstock repairs due to accidental drops!
Great idea! Now I can put an end to my neck diving bass. Thanks for sharing
Damn., that really works :D
I've seen so many things about moving strap buttons and drilling holes on the bass that I was going crazy.
...Strap through the belt... as simple as that.
You're tha man
+Nuno Silva Thanks Nuno , yeah i know desperation creates simple stupid solutions sometimes..this is one of those times, thanks bro, and if you want to get motivated and keep the mind from going south every friday i put up 2 min motivation video on something that will get you going..have an awesome night Momo
Very under rated video and man that 12 string outro sounds fantastic.
thanks so much Tony much appreciated, have an awesome day you rock M
I have to second everybody. Your video seriously saved me. I won’t have to visit my chiropractor as much anymore now thanks to you!!! Can’t believe it’s so simple.
Dang, so very late to the party, but this is so very clever! Simple, easy to do and is the perfect solution, well besides buying a different Bass or guitar! Your playing is amazing, heading down the rabbit hole of RUclips now! Thank you!
thank you john your never too late to your own party my friend and thanks for your great energy, i wish you an awesome day you rock M
Love your videos MoMo! Brilliant!
This video saved my life. Thank you very much!
right on bro, your very welcomed M xo
@MomoTheBellyDancer from a Broken Heart?
@MomoTheBellyDancer Omg! It's actually a song. I thought you knew. 🎶 Last night a DJ saved my life from a broken heart 🎶 I'm not kidding. Look it up.
@MomoTheBellyDancer Wow. You just went from Dick to Super Dickhead ...
Thanks! Sometimes the simplest obvious things work the best.
Holy shit, so simple and yet I never thought about that. And it works like a charm, thank you so much!
Now my Randy Rhoads is so comfortable to play when I'm playing while being standing.
right on my bro, so happy it works for me, just last night i was playing a real top heavy bass and it just floating there with no hands hahahaha..it totally works..right on bro have a great day, you rock M
This is dope. Thanks, man. 🙏
your welcomed andy , thanks for tripping out and have a great night, you rock M
I drop in here occasionally just to hear that jam!
I love simple free solutions.
I'm from Brazil and just bought a Gibson SG and it came with that problem. And for us, those guitars are fuckin expensive. It took me a couple years saving money. So, you can figure out my fear of drilling the guitar. You saved my life with that tip, man. Thank you so much, man.
Dude, you totally rock.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Stopping in for the jam!
thanks my friend, you rock M
Holy crap, thank you for this video. I have a top heavy Gretsch guitar that is beautiful to play....SITTING DOWN. It was driving me nuts, this is finally going to make me play this great guitar live, in front of an audience.
right on , im always so happy when i hear words such as this, your going to love playing that guitar my friend, doooo itttt , you totally rock M
Holy Bro! Simple and genius!
WHAT!!!! This is the one single greatest idea to come out of the world of guitars since Leo invented the bass. You should be in the music history books for this epic idea. By the way that bass sounds insane its like both guitar and bass at the same time. Fire the skinny string noodling twiddler from the band.
Thank you! I was just about to order several hundred dollars of lightweight tuners. I will try this first!
right on , this will work 100% , have a great day you rock M
So simple. Thanks a lot!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Wow! So cool. That's awesome.
what a great and simple fix
Great advice !!! I'm a drummer and a noob at bass.
right on brother, thanks and have an awesome evening you rock M
Yo your awsome manI was goin nuts about getting a new strap..Thank you again brotha man
+A.O.G 317 right on bro xoxoxoxooxox yopu totally rock

First video I see with no thumbs down !
Cool, thanks for watching bro M XO
Amazing. You should patent that. Hehe. How come no one ever thought of this. Genius! Thanks
thanks my friend, well i dont know, the simplest things are the hardest things to think of, this came from necessity and there you go...have an awesome evening and thanks for dropping by you rock M
Thanks man your the guru.
Great tip! Cheers!
Love that head gear
thanks my bro, have a great day M
Groovy man!! Love it..!
George Witham thanks dude, you rock
I'm using a carabiner looped around the strap and then one of my belt loops for similar effect. It's nice, because I don't have to unhook my strap to do the hack. Just clip the carabiner on the belt loop after you get the strap over your head and you're good to go.
awesome , i had tryed that but found that it wasnt tight enough for me as the carbiner slid up and down a bit and i like it tight with no movement at all ...but if i punched a hole in the perfect place for the leanth of the carabiner then nothing would slide around !!!! either way im happy you found a way my friend, have an awesome day and thanks for checking this video out, you rock M
@@themomozone Ah yeah that's a good point about it sliding around. I have found that to be annoying. I'll probably stick with the carabiner for practice, but if I'm ever good enough to perform the belt would be the clear winner for sure. Cheers!
Amazing hack sir you’re a genius!
you are too kind , thanks for dropping in with your awesome energy , have a great day you rock M
Smart idea, only condition is you need the same strap locks on each bass to do this.
THAAAAAAAANKYOUUUU THIS REALLY HELPS ME,ROCK ON
Right on bro, happy to help..you rock M
smooth move = I like it! thanks, mon
This works.
But it takes a bit longer if you have a Straplock on your strap.
And make sure you feed the strap behind the right side belt loop,
Brilliant
Genius!
+BassHeadJazz Thanks bro, you rock
Super sweet Thx
your welcomed my bro, have a great day m xox
Fixes my SG neck dive… thanks!
right on bro, so happy , nothing worst then using your forearm to hold your axe down as your ripping...have an awesome day M
Thanks!
My Ric dives like this... I just switched my strap to a big wide leather one and it sat correctly.
I'm going to try this, I have the exact same model, but in green
Nice, its going to work for sure and your gona love it even more , have a great day
man you are genius!!
Brilliant!!!
Thank you
I love everything about this video 😂
hey Irene , thanks so much , very cool of you , and i love what you do also , i just subscribed to you...have a great night and keep doing what you do , you totally rock M
I have an amazing solution that I use on my thunderbirds.
Raise your rear strap button 3.5 inches on your bass body I just add another higher up so I don't leave a hole in the bass.
You'll be shocked at the difference
Nice !!!!!!
you solve it Man...real easy...
thank you
Amazing~!!!
You rock man!

ILL ADMIT..........NOT BAD!
thanks bro M
I've been using a 1 pound ankle weight on the back of my strap but I will try the belt loop...thx...OMG the pizza in the oven joke...lmao!!😂
Thanks Brett, yeah i think this will be better for you then the weight..The Pizza Thing....i tell you every time i play it and look up i see the wood burning over or a giant bagel oven hahahha..thanks for watching dude xoxox
TheMomoZone I'm also goin to the NAMM show this weekend to check out hipshot light tuners as well...but for now I will try your method
Could also drill a wide hole in the bass and insert heavy pieces of metal to counterbalance it (if you wanted to get creative).
:)
Ok, but how am I gonna play naked??
just wear a belt and run it around that lol , that would work for sure !!!! have a great day M
Omfg.....
What about Flea? He only wears underwear
cheap. unless you are wearing a dress...
