Strap lock Buttons

Stores used to sell them on a little board thing that had 100 or so on it; you'd just take 2, pay something like a buck a piece, and walk out. I haven't seen that in a while though. I may have an extra pair of the three-mile island looking ones in nickel, though.

I too remember a local store having a carboard display with just the Dunlop style buttons and screws attached to them.
They were exact knockoffs of the Dunlop dual design button, but it wasn't made by Dunlop...I keep wanting to say Allparts for some reason. It's been several years tho.

Last christmas I was in Colorado Springs, and a hole in the wall music store still had one of those displays with all colors, so I bought some. Next time I'm back there I'll load up on some more.

I have a spare chrome and maybe black pair if you want em Toby.

You mean just the part that goes onto the bass? I cant imagine that there is a big enough demand for that to justify marketing just one half of a system.

Just go buy the whole thing and keep the extras. Maybe you'll get another strap someday...

Yeah, it just seems wasteful, I have a handful of the strap end part and only enough buttons for about half my basses...

I went home for lunch and found 3 of those buttons, with the screws. atrapp, let me know if you want them.

Danomite64 - I'd surly take those buttons!
