My new bass strap

seansbrew · #1 10-01-2009, 10:37 PM

A friend of mine recently took a leather working class and is really passionate about learning the craft of leather-work.
Anyway, he made me a strap. It is first strap ever (so it's not perfect) and I am honored to wear it.
He didn't want to charge me anything because he felt it was sub-par. I love it because it reflects my hobbies (Brewing and bass) and was made and stitched totally by hand.
The hops are dimensional as well as the beer glass, which was modeled after one of my tattoos.

Wow! That is a very nice bass strap! And there's not another one exactly like it in the world. Wow.

He wants to start making custom guitar straps, but not before he buys a sewing machine. He said is was allot of work by hand.

That's very cool. And you'll enjoy using that for a loooooong time, I'll bet.

It's always nice to own anything that is unique.
