We all know your bass is only as good as the strap it hangs on, right? Show your straps and tell us about 'em.
Mine's a 3 1/2" Levy's Padded leather strap, set on it's shortest setting using both holes provided (yes, three Schaller straplocks... I use the black ones - farthest apart for rocking out and I use the chrome one thats farther in for what my girlfriend calls "that virtuoso **** you like to do)
I've got a Nady VHFBass transmitter wedged in there, almost never comes out. I cut the lead short so it doesn't sag down too much, can hardly tell it's there.
Overall, the setup has to way about a pound and a half or two pounds but is very comfy.

When I went looking for a good expensive strap, it had to be wide, padded, and had to slide on the shirt. I pull my headstock nice and high when soloing, do a lot of stringbending so it was a must. The Levy's worked out in the end!

my girl got me this for my b'day.
I've got a standard brown Levy nylon weave I use a lot and a 2.5" black leather I bought in 82-83 is holding my fretted 5 to me as I type. I bought 4 straps from the "box o'vintage" in classifieds that shipped today! oh yeah... I've got a Planet Waves super wide thing as a gift from D'addario that I've yet to use... I hate wide straps. |

pretty heavy. Never swayed me to a wide strap. They just rub my neck, hold the heat, restrict my movement, etc etc etc.
I might bite the bullet when/if the TB Moody 4" hits the market. |

It was however, a pain in the rear to get the Schaller straplocks on the thing. It's pretty thick.
