I second this. Tried a GK Legacy and a Traynor Class D and the GK sounded miles better to me. Traynor was fine but the GK had much more character and a better EQ section.
My own experience with the clip locks is similar. The most common version is nylon which has zero grip and is likely a huge contributor to the neck dive.
If you like the look of the dimarzio clip lock straps (they are pretty cool) then try the Cordura version. It's substantially coarser to the...
Playing Ghostwire Tokyo but im like 8 hours in and it's already got kind of boring.... Think I'll bail.
Really looking forward to Jedi Survivor at the end of the month.
Normal cliplock starps are nylon and can be dreadful for some guitars. The cordura version is notably very different and much more grippy. Not sure what your dadarrio strap is made of but if it feels like the dimarzio i would would start there before the weights, just my two cents.
OP, what strap are you currently using? I am thinking the same direction @MaxOfMetal is, different straps can have drastically different grips.
Edit - I have used the fairly ubiquitous Levy Cotton straps and the Dimarzio Cliplock Cordura straps in the past and they helped a lot.
Man.... I did not enjoy that. I didn't know what to expect but damn that was boring. I expected some cool set pieces or something but no.
Damn it NFL, give us the Metallica half time we deserve.
This isn't games you will be playing but reviews for Hogwarts Legacy are pretty good so I will definitely be picking that up. I haven't had a good open world game in a while so hopefully it will scratch that itch.
