About strap locks, I've never really found any need for them. My current bass, that I bought used, came with Schaller strap lock buttons on the bass, but I just put my strap directly onto the bass, since I've never needed strap locks and it seems pointless to go and buy some that I don't need. Do you guys really have a problem with the strap falling off the guitar?
Thanks!
IME, straps are more likely to come off when they've been attached and removed from the bass/s a lot. The leather gets really soft and will slip over the buttons after a while.
I put rubber gaskets on the buttons to hold the strap ends on them and a pair only costs $2.00.
you shoud ask how much is it with out the bullets im sure where you are live rounds are cheaper
LMAO!
Maybe I'm just lucky, The strap that I was using until recently is just a nylon weave one from a LONG time ago. Like, from the 70s. and I've had no issues with it. I suppose I could just grab straplocks if my Comfort Strapp ever decides to poop out on me.
Sitting down - strap comes on & off. With headphones a strap becomes tangled blah blah blah
Man it's a slow day on Talkbass for this thread to be 3 pages long already!

I was wondering how long that would take......
Lee Rocker thinks it's a great idea:
That Billy Sheehan video is funny. He's showing this fat strap attached to his bass with lag bolts. Reminded me of this.
One of my straps is not that great, so sometimes my bass slips off. It's painful when a bass drops on your foot 
My other straps are fine and the bass happily stays on, so I haven't needed strap locks yet.
Also, I leave the bathroom door open when not in use, with the lid up.

No. But the day you find out you have a problem it can be an expensive finding.
I always use some kind of straplock. I used Schallers for years. Lately it's more a rubber washer... especially effective on the wide buttons of a Stingray.

And the light on ;-)
They're not exactly expensive - and they're a lot less expensive than any damage that would occur when (not if) your bass does come in rapid contact with mother earth.
I use Dunlop strap-locks on all my basses . Except for my much-gigged Jazz Bass Special. The strap on her is permanently attached with some big-ass washers. I honestly don't think they've been removed since the late 80's-early 90's.
