š My full beginner bass course: yeah.bassbuzz.com/straps
Time to practice your bass? Having your strap on at the right height is essential.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, I really recommend playing bass with a strap, even if you're just practicing at home.
Your strap keeps your bass steady for you, so you don't have to compensate with your hands. Trying to keep your bass stable with your hands can result in bad technique habits like gripping the neck, or anchoring too hard with your plucking hand.
In this video I'll take you through the very basics of how straps attach to your bass, and how to adjust their length so your bass is at the right height.
I'll also show you what strap locks look like, and talk about why they're useful. (hint: if you don't want your bass to crash to its doom on stage, you might want them)
