Couldn't resist, I ordered a pair. With shipping they were about $4.50. Won't get them for another month, but what the heck. I'll update when I get them and let you know what they look like.

I believe a penny get's you one. If you want straplocks on both ends of you strap you'll need 2. They don't combine shipping, I put qty 6 in and shipping came to $22.45. Still not a bad deal if they are quality straplocks.

Ah, Chlome Stlaprocks. Don't need any, but thanks for the heads up.

I have a couple sets of these. There Schaller rip offs. But they work. I have an actual Schaller on my strap and on 2 of my basses have the knock off pins. The Schaller is a little bigger so there is some wiggle room when I use these pins. As long as you have the opining on the strap piece facing towards the rest of the strap it's not going to be an issue. Already done a gig using these (my guitarist to) and had no problems.

A true Lost in Translation story: ca. 1980-81 I worked in a music store after school (best job ever). The owners went to NAMM and returned loaded with brochures and swag, including sales materials for ESP Guitars. The ESP materials trumpeted their innovative new tremolo mechanism that included among its components a "point brock" and a "body brock."
