Hey guys, I have a Carvin 6 string Fretless bass, 35 and 1/4 inch neck scale, and I have a strap for it that just doesn't really support it very well. After not that long of playing standing up, my back and shoulders start to ache so I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for a good heavy duty strap for this bass. Its nearly 12 pounds, if that helps.

Strap for Heavy 6 string Bass

4" wide model from Italia Straps. Very high quality, reasonably priced, and they work great for heavier instruments.
I got a big, wide strap by Levy from GC. I guess it's a bass-specific strap, it's wider and longer than a typical guitar strap, and is nicely padded too. And it really did stop my shoulder from aching after long practices.

The Comfortstrapp is great. I have a couple and the weight of a bass is completely irrelevant to me....and yes I often to the 4 hour gig thing.

I switched all my instruments to Comfort Strapps several years ago, and I'm never going back!
