Q about strap width!

[anesthetist]

many threads about straps i know, but haven't found info regarding this question!

my current strap is too narrow ~6cm (~2,5") and i'm going to order a wider strap from thomann.de and have been looking at minotaur straps which are handmade in greece and quite high quality i guess.

but they come in two diffrent sizes, 8cm (~3,1") or 11cm(~4,3"). I'm wondering if the 11cm strap width is too much, is it going to cut into my neck?

i wear my bass quite high (think Victor Wooten), does that factor in on how wide the strap can be!

maybe someone has experience with minotaur straps?

peace, A.

I think you will find the 11cm wide strap will cut into your neck a bit if it is a ridgid leather. I would think that the 8cm wide strap will feel a lot better than your 6cm.
