Last night, we played a local club. For the first time in several months, we were playing the whole night - no opening act. About 15 minutes into the 3rd set, my lower back was hurting so bad I had to put down the R0 and go to my back-up (Steinberger GL2TA). :dang
Now, my R0 isn't THAT heavy - less than 9 lbs. Even so, it's just a lot of weight to sling around all night. What was really frustrating was the difference in tone - I really wanted to pick the LP back up, but I just couldn't.
Any thoughts on how to manage the weight for long shows? Any specific exercises or stuff that any of you guys have come up with or heard about? I'm already using a very wide strap, so it's not a matter of my shoulder getting beat up.....:hmm
