A comfortable strap

[martybernal]

Just curious if anyone could recommend a padded strap they use that adds alittle comfort to the shoulders? I prefer something that is easily adjustable but it's not required. My American made Kramers get heavy after a while. Thank you.

IMO padding doesn't help too much. I play a rather heavy axe.
My recommendation is for a broad leather strap, not too stiff, to easily adapt to your shoulder.
Instead of buying on the net, check it out in a shop. That might save you from disappointment.

I use a Neotech. Very comfortable. Come in several types/widths.

+1 for Comfort Strapp, nicely padded, wide and have a bit of a bungee effect to them.
Great!

A wide leather strap still kills my shoulder.

Comfort Strapp's do not. Love em. I think the difference 'is' the slight bounce to them that takes the impact from any jarring movement off the shoulder.

+1 for Comfort Strapss. As Diabolic said, well padded and have a springyness to them. I use one on my heavy fiver.

Looks like I'm going with the comfort strap. Oddly enough I did see one at my local GC store here in Kansas City. Thanks for all the replies.

I love my Couch strap, its got the slick look of leather but without the stiff and rough feel. It's super comfy and looks great too, I would definitely recommend them to anyone. http://www.couchguitarstraps.com/

Comfort Strapp is the only strap I'll use.

I use the "Y" strap by Michele Morin.

It hooks over both shoulders, which evenly distributes the weight of the bass. Let's me wear a bass for hours with no stress. I've used it for many years - can't think of how I could live without it. Before I endured pain from overburdening one shoulder. No more! Check it out...

The Comfort Strapp. I got my first on in 1997. Before that I'd managed a guitar store and was on an endless quest to find the right strap. After that I still would try some (I had that goofy D'Addario "Air Strap", and I tried Fender's version of the neoprene strap that Neotech makes) and nothing works as well as the real Comfort Strapp.

I have a milk crate full of straps, thick leather, wide leather with sheep-skin padding, wide ones without padding, neoprene, one cool looking one with a six-inch wide pad, Levy's, etc. I only use Comfort Strapps on my basses and have three of them.

As far as adjust-ability goes, this is what I did. For my heavy 8-String I have a 4-inch wide Italia strap. I bought two sets of Strap-locks and installed three of the males on the strap's tail. This gives me a choice of three lengths at the touch of a button! I used a leather punch for the two additional holes that were necessary for the Strap-locks. Of course you can custom space to your own liking, too!

Just a thought.
