Show off your bass straps...

[Matthew Barrack]

Thanks! I appreciate it, it turned out really well. Looks awesome in direct light.

It really does.

Bought this for my J-five but I really like it on this one. Wasn't expensive either. $29.

Cool Strap Club!

Planet Waves 4", Levy's Gryphon, and MONO Betty.

Ironically, the MONO is the LEAST comfortable with my 11 lb 5'ers. I DON'T GET THAT.

Made mine with paracord.

I recognize the "94" patch on the Planet Waves strap. My maternal grandfather was in the 94th in WWII.

My sr500, first bass, and yes I painted it a bit, but I'm never gonna sell it so...

Mine's just a levy's strap, I felt like the design suited the bass pretty well though. I wish I had a fancier one like some of you guys! Those leather ones are beautiful

That may have to be in the running for the "Best Strap for Metal".

Bwahahahaha. Never thought about the idea that it was metal looking. Its pretty subtle because its black, and the tail part is kinda hidden behind me. I'm gonna go find a metal band to join since I've got cred... Lol.

I like them because they're comfortable.

This might call for a separate thread of using guitar straps for basses. Possible topics might include, "is it safe?", "will it affect my sound?", and "what's the audience reaction?"

 

[Photobassist]

how?

Using 36 feet of paracord (18' of black and 18' of blue) and a box knot...

Here's mine.

I have the twin to your bass! Not the strap though.

 

[arbiterusa]

Damn, y'all are hardcore. I've never spent more than 10 bucks for a strap.

I buy a special strap for each guitar. When I saw this one, I thought it went perfectly with my bass. Started with the Poe button, and then kept adding them. The SG101 button is on all of my electrics. Otherwise, I usually end up with a theme for each one.

I'd love snakeskin, but the snake needs it worse. I have thought about having my ball python made into one when she goes. Of course, she's only a couple of years old, so she may be having ME made into a strap. (~30 year life span)
