| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: Kansas City | | So i have recently become fed up with going to look at straps only to find, stuff like pink fur covered, cheesey cartoons, stuff like that(no offense to anyone that uses them, just not for me) anyways i got the idea to make my own, and then i got the idea i could make them and maybe make some extra change by selling them, long story short im planning on making up some and giving them to the first few people that respond on this thread that say there interested, free of course, to get some feedback. any thoughts?
just realized some how i put this in the complete wrong spot oops

|  | Fender Jazz Addict | | Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Eagan, Minnesota | | I used to use a plain ol' black leather strap with one of those slide-on seatbelt pads for comfort. Of course, it got lost in one of my many moves.. 
Looking online or in stores for a decent leather strap with a pad that doesn't cost an arm and leg is frustrating - I always like to 'try them on' before I buy, and most of the local music stores don't carry anything like that that is 'affordable.
If you're going to prototype straps, I'd be interested in trying one out, if you make them available. |
