Yes, the straps can be tucked in. The pads on the back are stitched to a sleeve that is open on the top and bottom, so the back straps can be unbuckled and slid behind the sleeve then reconnected and tightened to lay flat.

I recently purchased a Mono Stealth as an upgrade for the gig bag that came with my Fender JMJ Mustang bass -- the bass is phenomal, but the bag is very inaccurately described by Fender as a "Deluxe Gig Bag". My plan was to use the Stealth to transport either my Mustang or Precision bass, so my...

Selling my Ampeg BA-112 v2 bass combo amplifier. I purchased it new in 2016 and have only used it for home practice, so it is in excellent condition and perfect working order. It is a 75-watt amplifier with one 12" Ampeg custom speaker and has a built-in overdrive with blend. The back is angled...

PM sent.

Here's my take having purchased an American Standard P-Bass about a month ago. The changes incorporated in the new Pro models may be significant to some based on personal preference, but do not objectively represent significant upgrades or revisions to the US P-Bass line. The differences...

I have bought and sold on Reverb. The seller rates the condition of the gear. Reverb publishes descriptions of each condition, but, as far as I know, does not review posts to ensure they conform to those descriptions. They are certainly subjective ratings that are easily abused by...

In the space between our 25th Anniversary, which went minimally celebrated because we were getting our son off to his first year of college, Christmas, and our 50th Birthdays, my wife and I were discussing how we wanted to celebrate the lot. While she desires a trip to some new destination, I...

Pete Schmidt Black Velvet-Red Stitch 3 1/2" - Link Removed $49.95 I'm glad this thread started because I thought about starting an "Unsung Heroes of Gear" thread just to talk about how much I love this strap. This is an absolutely handsome and well made strap. The leather is thick, but was...

Dropping the price on this mint condition Aguilar Fuzzistor bass fuzz pedal exclusively for my TalkBass brothers and sisters. (Sorry Reverb shoppers.) It's packed up and ready to go. All I need is your address (and payment) for you to soon be enjoying a new fuzz pedal, and everyone likes new...

Pigtronix Bass Fat Drive in great condition with a Pigtronix 18V AC adaptor. Price includes USPS shipping to US destinations. Payment via PayPal.

Like Aaron MC said, loop it through multiple slots to shorten it to the length you want. I had the same issue with my Pete Schmidt strap, but found a combination that looks good and gets it to the right length.

I have four sets of new, unused strings for sale. These were the backup sets I purchased during my search for the right strings for my Jazz and Martin acoustic basses. To be clear, all four sets are new, unused, and in the original packing. 1. Ernie Ball Super Slinky 2834 (45,65,80,100) - $10...

Back in March I posted about a problem I had with a brand new Ampeg BA-112 v2 where the signal was bleeding out of the speaker when headphones were inserted. My local music store made that right with an exchange the day after my post and everything was great for 3 months until the same problem...

That is Big Al on the guard. The crimson jazz predates my son's school decision, but when my friend pointed out its Crimson Tide color scheme I couldn't resist adding the sticker.

It's at Fox Haven Farm in Jefferson, MD.
