Sign in to disble this ad
Would anyone be interested in a high-quality Moody Leather strap with the TalkBass logo on it, or a bass clef and "TalkBass.com"? (Or something else??) Moody contacted me about the idea a couple months ago - I'm considering the idea, but would like to get a sense of the possible demand for something like this before committing 
TIA!

(I'm looking drk brown and burgandy... but I'll go black for a TB strap)
Don't wait too long though, I'm itchin' to buy  |

Nice stuff! I was looking for a tooled/carved leather strap but the Redwood with curry looks killer.
Count me in for at least one if it comes to be. |

You may want to verify which "part" of the company you are dealing with . Apparently there was a fairly nasty split of the two principle owners (husband and wife I believe....nasty divorce). There is a lot of detail on Alembic's website of the joys of dealing with one side and the horrors of dealing with the other.
Reading back through The Alembic Thread it seems as though "Moody's Leathers" is the "good side" of the split.
Peace,
James

Any preferences?

I'm going to order a new shirt here soon (my other one got quite the wear from gigs etc.), so if it happens son enough, I'll just order both at the same time... I should look in the store, see what other stuff I can get .
