As the others have said, who cares what it looks like. If you play better with it up higher then normal then play that way. If your playing is smooth and clean then your listeners/fans wont care.

Hell, I never even thought about how it looked. I am so used to having my basses up near chest level it is just natural for me to have my guitars there as well. Guess I could not play with your band ;)

A good example, I have seen guys that can tear it up but they are the ugliest mofo's you would ever see yet they still get the good looking girls because they can play.
