strap button

Has anyone replaced their strap buttons with oversized circular strap buttons to use instead of straplocks? If so were there any problems using the included screws - screwing them in, or the quality of the screws? I recently watched this Warmouth video on the top choices for straplocks and I...

Hello all, I’m trying to figure out exactly what strap lock system I should use on my Fernandes Rick clone. It came with the vintage Rick-styled knurled strap nuts/repurposed bridge mute adjusters, which I don’t like very much—I worry about the strap failing and letting the bass drop down...

Hey TB'ers! Clearing out items I haven't used in some time. Finish is very clean, fully functional. What you see is what you get. $12 shipped ConUs. $5 local pickup. Thanks for looking!

Been a long time schaller user and finally needed new strap locks so bought a new Schaller set. I noticed that the screw is now integrated with the strap button ... Didn't think anything of it. Now, while I am playing the screw / button piece keeps backing out. I'm guessing that that didn't...

Leaning B here but though I'd ask for the dive mitigation strap button placement. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] B is both farther forward and also recessed a bit so less interference when in the case. I don't THINK there'll be issues with going straight into the neck heel. Shouldn't be...

The world of bass needs an engineered top horn extender. Who could make something like the picture below so you could use your factory strap pin screw to screw the extender onto your bass and and internal thread and the correct size machine screw to fit in a strap-lock? Is this do-able? Maybe...

Hi all, I was in the process of replacing the strap buttons that come stock with the Fender Flea active jazz bass with Schaller s-locks when I noticed that they have the same shape as the s-locks. I decided to test this out by using my strap (locks already added) with the stock buttons and it...

on assembling my warmoth bass, the strap buttons were drilled in without much thought. middle of the bridge on the body, and middle of the top horn. wait... middle of the top horn?? uh huh. i notice now that every single image of a jazz bass has that horn strap button slightly pointed towards...

(I am not sure if this topic belongs on this forum, if not feel free to move it moderator(s)) Context: I have an old Matsumoku Vantage I've been playing for a while and anyone who's played these basses know that they are neither ergonomic nor balance well in any way. The bass has the same isses...

So "neck dive" gets more rotation on TB than a lot of other topics. I thought it would be interesting to hear from y'all in regards to how you plan on strap attachment points. I'm thinking about building a body from scratch and my thoughts on how to start are to take My Ken Smith, which feels...

Strap Pin Move

Hey guys, I recently bought a Gibson Grabber and it's in great condition save for a disconcertingly loose strap button on the upper horn of the body. The screw will turn and never positively engage with the wood, but it's sturdy enough for bedroom recording for now. One will notice that this...

I really like my Ibanez Artcore AGB140. I recently installed an Ibanez PFR pickup in it and the sound and playability have really impressed me, except for the way that it hangs, with first position causing a bit of a reach. I had previously addressed this issue on my Danelectro '64 thusly...

G'day All, I play a Ibanez SoundGear 5 string (an SR755 NTF) and am wondering if it is possible to extend the strap button out to the 10th or 11th fret to reduce the reach to the first fret. Has anyone tried this? Would I just over-load the screw in the horn and break either it or the timber of...
