Recommend a Bass Guitar Strap?

[Pilgrim]

Any wide strap with suede backing to keep it from slipping.

I sometimes find 'em at GC for $16. Sometimes I buy Levy's and pay more.

I use the Comfort Bass strap and I love it. I have a Levy's strap on my backup that works fine for about 45 min, then I begin to notice it. The Comfort Strap is great. It may not look that great, but I am far beyond trying to make a fashion statement with my strap.

as you can see the really cool bass player will go with the comfort strapp, its just the best for a bass!

I currently use this one from Perri's Leather: http://accessories.musiciansfriend....-Soft-Leather-Padded-Deluxe-Strap-?sku=360486

It was dubbed "The Cadillac Strap" by my old guitarist.

I use the Moody Strap. Super fine leather with a suede back.

I use the padded leather Levy's straps. Run about $40.00 bucks, works fine for me.

My favorite used to be Levy's PM48NP3, a nice neoprene strap, but it was a little bouncy. My new fave is the Mono GS-1:

I tried the universally-recommended Comfort Strapp and found that it was indeed comfortable but it was kind of cheesily made and the stitching started to pull apart after not much use.

These look pretty awesome. I like that there's a pick holder, too. Hmm. I might have to get one instead of a Comfort Strapp now....

Neotech bass strap

 

[ProfGumby]

I have a Brooklyn Gear strap that is comfortable as anything I have tried so far, and the price won't break the bank. Mine might be their guitar strap though, it is still very comfortable.

Another vote for Moody. Easily the most comfortable strap I've ever used. Smooooth as the inner thighs of the Goddess P'an Chin-lien.

I'm diggin my Italia straps!

I've been using my neotech strap for almost 20 years. Very comfortable.

I've been using Franklin Leather Straps. A bit cheaper than Levy, but just as good. I actually like them better than my Leather Levy strap. I would LOVE a Moody. Maybe some day, but there's so much cool stuff to buy with $200

What length Comfort Strapp are y'all using?

 

[Jeff K]

Another vote for the Pro Comfort Strapps. I have 6 of them.

I normally use the "Long" version, but I also have an "Extra Long". I bought the XL when I had a Jack Casady bass because of the strap button being on the back of the bass. (That required a longer strap.) I no longer have the Casady, but I now use that strap with an American Deluxe Tele.

I'm 6' even, and the "Long" size is perfect for how I wear my bass (medium, around waist level). But if you're taller than 6', I'd probably go with the XL.

+1 on the Comfort Strapp! I prefer those over the Sadowsky strap.
The Comfort, being larger, distributes the weight better

 

[Fishheadjoe]

I really like the Sadowsky I bought recently... comfortable, and solid... I like!

+1 Moody. TalkBass store has the best deal on these too.

The neoprene "Comfort Strap" types are nice indeed.
Levy's Moody, Italia, etc. very nice, yep.

Action has already been posted, Terry is awesome as well.

Chantal is the greatest leather artist in the world; Marty at Ovation is the real thing as far as getting a no BS tight strap made.

Here's some of mine:
