Help needed with strap locks!

Hello fellow Tbers,

I recently became aware that my Tobias basses came equipped with buttons for straplocks. Therefore, all I need to be in business is the pieces for the strap itself. However, all I can find anywhere are "kits" selling the complete system with the buttons. Does anyone know a source where I can buy just the strap pieces?

Regards,
Wayne A. Pflughaupt

Basic black...perfect for any formal occasion. Give me an address and I know Susan has a padded envelope:

Black!

But - looking around it seems that there are a number of manufacturers for these - Dunlop, Schaller, Fender, etc. Problem is, I have no idea what the ones on my bass are. Is that going to be a problem? Hate to take advantage of your kindness and then not be able to use them!

If it turns out you can't use them, you can always find someone locally that can; or you can return them to @Zooberwerx.

I guess you mean the straplock button – here it is. Again, have no idea what the brand is.

Those are Dunlop buttons which match the strap-ends I pic'd. Today's your lucky day!

Works great, I've done some digging around on the site, and the Dunlops are very popular here. I'll PM you!

Susan must have a padded envelope around here somewhere...her studio is like an Etsy terminal.
