I went thought the B2B course with a Yammie BB735 and yes it’s heavy. I ONLY play standing (I can’t play while sitting).
I was recovering from my throat cancer radiation and chemo treatments back then, and had lost 60 lbs as a result of the treatment and the feeding tube in my stomach. The loss was mostly muscle, so you can just imagine how difficult that was on my back muscles and shoulders. But I got through it.
I used (still do) a Levy’s Leather 4.5 inch strap and it really helped to relieve the pressure on my shoulder and redistribute the weight so it wasn’t as centralized on my back. It was still difficult, and I needed lots of breaks, but I got through the course and even managed to record a few covers with it.
I’m fine now, and owe it to that very wide leather strap. I would definitely recommend it to you.
