Thanks for trying it out. I think with the right strap I'll be able to make it work, but the proof is in the pudding.

Hi Ben,
Just for my understanding; I suppose you are not playing the upright like an electric bass guitar, so why playing the electric bass in the way upright plays (vertical)?
I would play both but each in its way.
Best regards
