Bass Strap Advice!!!

I use 3'' leather straps that a local leather worker makes for me - works just fine for me...

+1,0002​! I have a very expensive (to me) hand-made ergonomic strap and the NeoTech straps are all I will use. NICE people making them, too!

I use the Super Bass Strap - very comfortable. In fact, I wouldn't use anything else.

I use regular old Levy's suede guitar straps. 2 1/2" wide and about 30.00.

From soprano ukulele to hollow body Gretsch bass, I buy all my straps from Long Hollow Leather. For bass, you can't beat their 3" wide Pinnacle strap for comfort. I tried on a few different wide leather straps, but as soon as I put on the Pinnacle, I knew it was The One. Long Hollow's straps are hand-made in a small family-run shop. Craftsmanship and quality are excellent. They also look very nice, in a classic, understated way.

No affiliation. Just a happy local customer!

I have a Franklin Strap 2" Padded Leather strap on my Squier Precision V, with Dunlop Straplocks. I love this strap! I'm not sure how much the bass weighs (I'd guess around 9 lbs or so, but I'm really bad at estimation), but this strap makes it pretty manageable.

I have a Neotech Mega bought specifically for an 11.6 lb monster. $30 shipped and I love it.

There is no use comparing neoprene to leather, the leather simply cannot absorb shock as neoprene does.

I use 4" wide Moody straps. Very high quality leather and classy finishes. I prefer the smooth leather backing over the suede.

I just received my Moody's 4" and love it, best straps I ever owned.

Italian leather runs good deals on talkbass.
