Most Expensive Strap ever?

I think so...

Are these "premium" straps worth the money? Or am I better off spending no more than $30 on something similar under a different name?

HA HA! That has to be a typo. Hope no one bought it for that kind of money. That's a used car, a nice rig, a nice bass, and some money in your pocket for the cost of that strap!

I gotta admit, they almost had me when they had the picture of that woman playing guitar.

Anyway, the most expensive strap I ever bought was for like $40.00, and had padding in addition to being 2.5" wide and all leather. Much better value than that Moody rip-off, and probably more comfortable to boot.

My art teacher made a nicer leather strap for his bass, and it cost less too...

They're good... not THAT good!

I've $130 Talkbass Moody's strap. Sweet strap, like buddah! And I like how the strap cost more than the bass.

Hey what are you guys talking about.When i first started playing i couldnt afford a good leather strap at the time.My Oldman went under the house where he had a roll of seatbelt material & asked me how long it needs to be & cut a nice length off.It works beatifully.Only it slides a little downward.Didnt have to pay a cent & it works great.
