Anyone have issues with guitar straps cutting off circulation to their arm?
I've had issues with my back and left shoulder for the past few years, so I had to stop playing bass and can only play light weight Ibanez guitars bc I don't have to hold my arm out as far to play guitar. I've been really wanting to play bass again, so I jammed with my drummer this week and I noticed that my left arm's circulation is getting cut off by the strap.
I have a ton of different straps, so I tried different widths and different materials like leather, padded, stretchy, nylon etc but nothing really seems to help. If I put the body of the bass on a chair and play it kind of like a double bass, I have no issues with my shoulder hurting.
I'm thinking about getting a stand for my bass, so I don't need a strap or getting a harness double shoulder strap.
Anyone have any suggestions or recommendations?
I'm in the USA but can buy from anywhere online. I'm also pretty good with a sewing machine and thought about trying to make something.
