I think Freud called it "piccolo envy." As a pianist/keyboardist, I always had to lug tons of equipment to gigs. Hey man, I was in a lot of groups because I had a van or truck. Drummers face the same problems, but nothing like upright bassists. I remember seeing them wheeling their instruments down the streets with a wheel instead of a bottom peg.
So I smiled when we came out of a wonderful meal at our favorite restaurant in Etla and saw this guy loading his bass into or onto a mototaxi. Actually, they were figuring out what to do with it. Like all bass players, he was very friendly and posed for this pic with a big grin on his face.
I like the strap. I bet he wears the bass while playing it, kinda like a guitar... make that a big guitar.
Looks like they came up with a solution.
