Simple and effective way to Solve Neck-Heavey Basses

I use a picture. It's worth a thousand words

some explaination
In my case the bass center of balance is between the strap button and the 'balancer'. And I adjust both end to share bass weight equally.

You can make a good looking 'balancer'  out of a soft belt or a leather strap that match your bass body.

If you don't care the look too much, this method will save you hundreds of dollar.
