    Both Levys. I like the thick leather one more than the small suede one. I also have a Fender one that came with my Jazz bass, it's black and purple with yellow lettering.

    This is mine, got it in town for $50. It's nice and thick and I think it's one of a kind (they have all sorts of sprayed straps like this there). I like having a unique one. I use Dunlop Straplocks with it. I've just got a Fender strap on my Jazz until I can get it some straplocks as well.

    Comfort Strapps all the way. I have 3, one on each bass. They don't feel cheap, are made in the US, and have been trouble free. I'm just not a fan of leather. The CS have leather ends, which is cool.

    Wow Dave, that must have taken sometime. I get the point... :meh:

    BUT, I just wanted to see your straps. No other reason then for pleasure of the eyes. I didnt find anything when I searched, I guess I had the wrong keyword.

    No harm done. Those threads are stale, anyway ;)

    Super nice photos. I can feel the passion in your playing, just by your expressions. But how do you pluck with those finger nails? My nails grow 1mm and they get in my way. (I keep em real short with a Dremel)

    I've got over 20 guitars and basses so I'm not going to show all of my straps, but here are the 2 that get used the most. The "SON OF DAVID" is used on my Squier FVM Fretless and the "THE THINKER" is used on 2008 Fender MIA Jazz V.:)

    Those are both very, very classy. They both would look great on a Dirty Blonde Warwick, but thats just my opinion. :bag:

    I got this 4" Creme Italia Leather strap off Ebay about a year ago. I think they used half a cow to make it, as they are really heavy duty. I got it for just $30 bucks. It took 2 months to get it as they are hand made. I think the slow turn around and the fact there were low bid prices caused the company to not sell them on Ebay anymore. You can currently get this strap off their website for $120.
