Don't cheap out on the strap. | Just bought one the other day and put it on my heaviest bass, very nice. The price on it was $50 and I never thought I'd spend that much on a strap but it is well worth it.

It's got strap locks and I just move it from bass to bass. They get even better when they're all broken in. Wow. This thread just made me appreciate my strap a lot more.
