+1 Same for me the past 5 years. I think I have 4 of them.

However, Roger (as usual) totally nailed it - that the key is the traction of the leather on the underside of the strap.

Yeah, those suede-backed Italias work well for me, too. Even better than the Neo Strap. I have another bass that's notoriously neck dive-y. But the wide strap and suede back makes it a non-issue.

I recently picked up one of the fancy tooled leather jobs from Levy's for my Fender J Deluxe that sports the Sadowsky preamp. Sharp Dressed Man! But, the leather on the underside has all the grab of Teflon. This in contrast to the exact same strap I had bought a year earlier for my RV4, which grabs like a spring tick on my shoulder.

BTW, my RV4 balances like a champ. Great bass!

Yeah... in my case, the straps might grab a bit if I sweat some, but otherwise, they're fairly slick, which is why I brought it up... that I'm not feeling much if any dive despite the fact that I do not use a particularly grabby strap.

FWIW anyway.

I just recall seeing the "these are samples" as to the pics, and the fact that they have different model numbers that they appear to be saying are Metros. And I have not heard of this "dealer" in LA. I dunno, just looks suspicious to me.

Tokyo has always seemed to be able do stuff you wouldn't necessarily expect in a Metro model, ofr basses that were supposed to "stay there and not be Metros."
Or, at least, I've seen stuff I wouldn't have expected.

I could be wrong.

My crew in Japan does do limited editions just for the Japanese market.
