I've had it for years and it's still in great shape.

-tom | The wide leather padded strap that Zon sells is a must have in my book.

Levys are the more "classical" kind of strap, usually just some form of leather. Marlin's are more graphic, with all sorts of cool designs on them. My flag-motif-ed bass has the Uncle Sam strap, which looks great with the bass.
Rock on

That's all
