This may have been posted, but this poor guy is the poster boy for "Shoulda Got Strap Locks." The video has an unfortunate title, as the guy is really grooving, imo.

The bassplayers move wouldn't have worked anyways because doing a guitar spin with a bass at that height would have resulted in a broken headstock - the neck of the bass is just too long for that move^^
Straplocks are a MUST HAVE for playing live!!! I wouldn't even stand up with a guitar on a strap that does not have security locks on it! Not just fancy stage moves can send your instrument flying to the ground, even some slight movements might be enough for your guitarstrap to jump of... --------------------  Gear: - Jackson USA Select KV2 King V with EMG 81/85 - Gibson Les Paul Custom Arctic White with EMG 81/85 - Ibanez Rg 8527 J Custom 7-String with DiMarzio Evolution and Air Norton - Peavey 6505+ head with Marshall 1960AV 4x12 cab - Peavey Vypyr 30 Practice Amp - Dunlop Crybaby From Hell, Maxon OD808, Boss TU-2, MXR CarbonCopy, ISP Decimator, MXR Custom Audio Electronics Booster |

Yeah, that, and don't get stag straps. I was playing once, in the kitchen/no strap locks (but that doesnt really matter here) and the damn strap just broke and my guitar fell to the hard floor.
Yeah screw stagg -------------------- Don't just play it. Feel it!

I had few really bad accidents where my bass fell to the floor...Since then I use strap locks on all my basses. Now that guy is pretty funny
 )) Crazy idea to try that with a bass

Hey Bogdan,
just try it at one of your next shows! But be sure to video tape it...if a bass player can do such a move, it's gotta be you  Never really thought of straplocks until now... -------------------- |

Been there, done that
 ...but even with much less theatrical of a move. Next day I went out and bought some strap locks. Never have been without them since on any guitar.
