Sign in to disble this ad
Has anyone had problems with their Warwick strap lock letting go? I mean, the connection between the strap and the pin. It seems like a very small bearings that do the holding, not too secure. I had my bass drop during a gig. Didn't hit the floor but it made me resort to holding the body with my fingers and using my thumb, oldschool. 
Anyone? |

Just switch them with either of the two mentioned above.
Not worth trying to fix.

FWIW, a local tech hates them with a vengeance. He's even gone as far as to remove the recessed strap buttons, plug the holes, and install Schallers.
Question: what gives out first, the strap buttons or the strap-end mechanism?
