add whatever you deem necessary to existing strap, it will be metal or punk depending on your style.

A really long one so you can hang the bass low and hunch over to play it.

Really?

As long as you can play, who cares what strap you have, hang the bass off of you with a bungee cord....wait thats not a bad idea.

If you are really metal you will hold it with your teeth.

Bass strap for metal?!?!?!

If you really where METAL the the hand of the unholy dark one would burst through a fiery chasm and hold your bass for you in it's taloned, leathery claw.

Of course then you'd owe him. Not recommended.

I would go with a good thick leather strap any day of the week. Something that spreads out the weight of the bass on your back. In metal you gotta do all the dancing with the hair and the bit, so you should take your vitamins and stretch before each set. Don't forget to change your socks.

take Viagra and drill a hole in your bass; then you can spin it during drum solos
