Does anyone care about strap color?

[Mvilmany]

Black.

Straps matter. The skull gives me tons of cred without even playing a note.

But I love the couch strap site

+1 for Couch. I got this 2" brown vinyl one to go with a sunburst finish. All of their straps are vegan, for those who care about that.

Black leather with my cocobolo Alembic and Brown Levy's with my claro walnut Custom Pushic. It matters to me...not as much as my playong... but it matters.

 

[SanDiegoHarry]

brown or black. I don't think about it after that.

Black, like my coffee.

I made a couple of leather straps for myself, but I was dissatisfied with them and gave them away, leaving me with one plain black strap. I am typically not into "plain" anything, so I went ahead and bought that pearl seafoam green fringe strap that was in the classifieds for months. It looks amazing on my white/tort Precision. Now I plan to devote at least 10% of my GAS to strap-acquisition for the rest of my life. I view it as being similar to my tie collection. It's an avenue for being classy and subversive at the same time

Makes me wonder if cord color should match too!

Black strapless is nice.

 

[jasonrp]

Doesn't matter as long as it's black

I buy puke yellow cords so no one steals them.

 

[tbz]

Nah. Details like that are important. Go nuts.

black or black with either of my black basses. black or black with my sunburst basses. black or black with my 'walnut' bass. FWIW: most of my gigs are 'dress up' gigs (black tuxedo maybe, black suits usually. one band: black shirt and pants, but lots of black clothing).

so a black strap is easy/appropriate for my stuff: and since all of my instruments have the same schaller strap lock buttons installed, i only need one strap for all of them --- the black one!

I disregard strap colors. Unless the strap doesn't match my socks, shoes, belt and shirt. As long as it's all color coordinated, I don't really even think about it.

 

[Mechayoshi]

brown or black. I don't think about it after that.

Exactly.

 

[Korladis]

I have a white Stingray with a white pickguard, and I'm considering a white strap to go along with it. Too much?

Actually I had an idea. What color is the fretboard?

 

[Mystic Michael]

Too much?

It wouldn't be too much for me. But here's the beauty of it all: You get to decide what's not enough, just right, or too much...for you. Nobody's else's opinion even enters into it.

Black fur for me. People like to pet it....
