Heh, so I was just playing along to some music today, figured I'd get into it a little. Bad idea. My strap had already started to rip some, I figured "Eh, no problem, it's a cheapy anyways, I can always get a new one". Well, it held up a little better than I thought... my strap button decided to go AWOL. I haven't found it yet, but it sure left a mark on my bass.

I was thinking of posting this there, but I wasn't sure if it would qualify as a setup post or not. Any mods wanting to move it, feel free, I don't mind |

Is it made of papier mache - that would explain a lot!!

I did finally find my strap button. Looks like the screw is of the 1-1/4 or 1/2 inch kind, with only about two thirds of it going into the bass. Doesn't seem like that would provide a lot of anchorage to me  |
