Good Comfortable Strap

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm looking for a quality, comfortable strap under $50. I had my mind set on a 3" wide Planet Waves Strap, but I read the reviews and some said the padding isn't where your shoulder would be. Anybody have one of these?

I'm also thinking about getting a Comfort Strapp, but I can't find them anywhere.

What do you guys think?

I have a Comfort Strapp and like it the best of all of my straps. I have several wide leather straps but they're just not as comfy.

I found mine at Sam Ash.

Comfort Strapp is the way to go. I have had mine for the past few years. I seem to be lead to basses that are heavy, and this strap is always comfortable. Where do you live? These are usually pretty easy to get. Have you done a google search?

I live outside of Philly. I checked a local Sam Ash and Guitar Center, but they didn't have any at the stores. I'll check online right now...

Hrm, I've been happy with the levi's wider straps personally. At least 3 inches...3.5 if I find them..and the soft suede looking ones. Found that the nylon ones slid around. I found that the ultra padded ones weren't comfortable on my shoulders, but part of that might be because there's not as much shoulder on me as there would be on a man . It also makes a difference which bass you're using, I tried on a friends bass with my strap and no way would I carry that for four hours-it was off balance on me!

+1. I have 5 or 6 Comfort Strapps. That's all I'll use on my basses.
