I'm looking for a comfortable bass strap but one that's not leather being that I'm vegan. Can you reccomend one?
Thanks  |

Anyway, I bought the Sadowsky Neo Strap, and that is the most comfy strap I've ever used. I was also looking at the NeoTech Strap, but they are not allowed in Australia for some reason :S |

Screw cows, what have they ever done for me? |

It appears to be a synthetic leather (made in China so it could be melamine infused lead paint for all I know) split tube with velcro along the seam to envelop my strap. Works like a charm.
