Another straplock thread

I Know there are a bunch of these but, this is specific. I have a btb and it has different looking strap buttons and i'm not exactly sure if all strap locks will work. I also prefer keeping the original parts on it so i was wondering if these are any good?

If not could someone recommend me a good pair? Also if i were to get the strap locks where you have to screw them in would loctite be a good way to keep them on?

EDIT: I also found these.

That 2nd one seems pretty good.

But what's the big deal about buying some Dunlop strap locks and replacing the old strap buttons?

Are you really that opposed to replacing a part?

Dunlop makes a set that emulate real strap buttons, so you could use the locks, or use a regular strap without the locks. They're handy for some.

I, personally, have Dunlup flushmounts on all my basses. I love 'em, and they just look so sleek.

I'm a big fan of the Dunlop ones. Others prefer other brands. It's really whatever you like best.

I liked the stock BtB strap screws so much I decided not to put strap locks on the bass. They are super heavy duty and extra wide.
