Do you have any suggestions for comfortable straps? I have a 2 inch Steph strap in leather but when i use this one i have tension in the shoulder. The advantage of that strap is i can adjust at the height that i need to make sure that my left hand fingers can play what i want to play.I have another one by Neotech that one is 3 inches large and there is a pad in the center . That one help me release shoulder tension.But i c'ant adjust at the height that i need even at the maximum height it is still a little to low.What i would like to have if it exist is the comfort of the neotech with more adjustment possibilities like the Steph strap. (3 inch large or more with a pad in the center )and holes like Steph or Levy's to adjust the strap.

The Neotech Mega strap comes in two different sizes. Do you have the long version and would be better off with the short one?
The short one adjusts to 32". IME, you will be hard pressed to find a strap that will adjust to a shorter length than that.

D'addario/Planet Waves makes a padded strap that looks like it wouldn't be comfortable, and yet it is. At least to me. And it's not too expensive.
Me, I go for a Levy's MSS2-4 for my most comfy strap, which is leather, padded, and 4 1/2" wide. They also make a 3" wide version called the MSS2. Had to dye that orange Levy's logo black, but it's pretty sweet.

I’m a fan of the Mono Betty straps.
Durable, padded and 3” wide, this strap is very comfortable.

I wish I had more recent pictures... my red bass needs some repairs and I haven't had the precision out a lot as I'm doing renovations to my home... but here are pics of the two I have, and the 1 I just ordered today. Well-Hung Guitar Accessories make the most comfortable straps I have ever worn. And I have a messed up shoulder so I have tried A LOT! but on top of feeling great they also look fantastic and are very sturdy. I highly recommend Well-Hung straps!
I have a few Ethos straps, they are beautiful and very well constructed. But this John Patitucci strap is the most comfy strap I ever used. It is the only strap I use now. Compared to the visuals of my Ethos straps, I suppose I'm chosing substance over style with JP strap.
