I am looking for a good tan/maple colored strap. I am trying to match my bass maple neck. Any ideas on a quality or even cheap one? Natural real light maple..

I ordered one from musicians friend (fender one) and it said natural and it looked perfect....when I received it I was disappointed because it was brown..

Thanks!
 
Here is a Levy's strap I bought that seems to be reversable - lighter on one side:

Ah ... previous poster gave you a link to Levy's ... plenty of totally natural tan there.
 
And of course I'm partial to these two. Both are stock Fender from the mid 1980's. The wide strap on the bottom replicates Fender's Tweed amp covering of the 1950's and the thinner top strap was just your run-of-the-mill Fender strap. I liked 'em both, and decided to layer them and use them together. They've been inseparable for nearly 30 years.

I am a huge fan of Brookwood out of PA. This guy does some awesome straps and Bob will customize it however you want.
