Sign in to disble this ad
...is on the way!!! 
I've been wanting one forever and finally decided to splurge and just order it. Black/Black with the leather backing. Got an e-mail yesterday saying it shipped. Shouldn't be long now 
I figure since I've got a couple $3,000+ custom basses, spending ~$160 on the best possible handmade strap ever(!) is easily worth it. My basses and shoulder deserve it

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: Seattle, Washington | | Hmm...I might actually prefer my old 3" Levy's strap. Obviously there's nothing imperfect about the Moody. It looks, feels, and smells ( ) amazing. But it has that "glove leather" on the back, which I'm not sure I like. I prefer the smooth leather backing on my Levy's which easily slides around on my shoulder.
That, and 4" fills up all the space on my shoulder. I'm sure that's perfect for support, but it looks a little funny to me

I actually have a 3.5" leather strap myself. It's just not fancy like yours.  |

Personally, I would never order an Italia, just because of some of the bad things I've seen from and heard about them.

I have compared them to my friends Moody. They are pretty much the same thing. I prefer my Italias' since they were only about $30 apiece. the nice thing is, I have three of them in different colors to use on different basses.
