Good Comfortable Strap

I'm looking for a quality, comfortable strap under $50. I had my mind set on a 3" wide Planet Waves Strap, but I read the reviews and some said the padding isn't where your shoulder would be. Anybody have one of these?

I'm also thinking about getting a Comfort Strapp, but I can't find them anywhere.

What do you guys think?

Comfort Strapp is the way to go. I have had mine for the past few years. I seem to be lead to basses that are heavy, and this strap is always comfortable. Where do you live? These are usually pretty easy to get. Have you done a google search?
 
Hrm, I've been happy with the levi's wider straps personally. At least 3 inches...3.5 if I find them..and the soft suede looking ones. Found that the nylon ones slid around. I found that the ultra padded ones weren't comfortable on my shoulders, but part of that might be because there's not as much shoulder on me as there would be on a man :). It also makes a difference which bass you're using, I tried on a friends bass with my strap and no way would I carry that for four hours-it was off balance on me! :)
