In regards the problem of holding the bass comfortably towards the body in a sitting position , I'm thinking of one of the more sturdy " around the arms and down the sternum " type saxophone harnesses' , although as I see it ,it would need the attachment position lowered to around sternum height and maybe best replaced with elastic cord which can then hold the bass into the body but also allow some distance flexibility.

These harnesses are designed for standing with an instrument, so the cord tends to come down from collarbone height . Rest the weight of the horn on anything however and it will fall away from the body . This " sitting with bass" problem presnts different physics issues than that of a strap or harness designed for standing .
