Doctor Song Bass Straps??

Sign in to disble this ad
Anyone know if this company is still in business and selling guitar straps? I've done a Google search and haven't had any luck finding any.

I have one of their straps I think I bought about 25yrs ago and it's still in great shape. I'd like to pick up another for a spare cause I've had some serious GAS going on lately for a new fiver.

The one I have is nice and wide for the extra weight of a five string, and the leather they used has held up well for 25 years.

If no one has any info on the Doctor Song's, I'll take input for any other strap preferences

Thanks

I was looking in the ancient case that came with my Orlando P Bass and found this very nice old leather strap from Doctor Song. Googled and found this old thread.

...will post pics later.

No but, if your in the market for a good leather strap check out Minotaur Online Store.

They make lots of wide straps many designs and almost all of them can be selected to the length you want no more of this hunting for the strap length you prefer just click on a strap style you like and select the length you want.

I got one it's really good I live in Texas and the humidity here tends to make some leather straps very stiff however this one is as flexible as the day I got it. Makes my 10+ pld ATK feel like my old RBX170 light as a feather.
