Some months ago, I asked the club about what to do about a bit of head dive on my graphite neck short scale series bass. The resounding response was a Moody 4" strap. I got one and it was perfect for that but the unexpected result was to take any shoulder fatigue away. So in my humble opinion that IS the way to go. The soft leather, that forms to take the pressure points out is the hot ticket. For what it's worth.
