Straps?

[kilum]

Hi i dont know if i am in the right forum but,
does anyone know where i can find a good comfortable strap ?

i am using a cheap strap and it hurts my shoulder and back...

do you guys think if i get a sponged and a width'er strap will help me ?

any recommendations ?

thanks

Go to Zonguitars.com and buy one of Joe's wide leather padded straps. They're very comfy and very well made.

I haven't used one of the neoprene padded straps the "comfort strapp," but people here seem to swear by them.

For playing heavier instruments and/or longer sets I have a 3" or so wide, VERY soft and supple leather strap that I use.

I swear by www.italiastraps.com 4" wide straps. I've got a white one and a black suede one.

I use 3" split leather straps. That supple thing takes a while, but they're rugged, non slip, and I've never had issues with shoulder pain.

If you have the cash support Talkbass and get one of the TB Bass Clef straps, they are very nice.

I've had one since the late 1980's and I love it, for sure.

Get a W I D E one - 3" or better.

Comfort Strapp ftw!

I've got 'em on two of my basses & even on one of my (blasphemy!) guitars. Quite possibly the best investment I ever made in bass gear.

Italia, Moody, or Levy's [if you want cheaper].

I got my Italia Wide 5 on Ebay for something ridiculously low $30 or so. For that price, it's amazing. For $50-60 it's pretty good. I trimmed a few of the corners down once i got it so that they wouldn't poke me while playing. Other than that-i love it.

For a cheaper strap [not by much]-i'd go for a Levy's M6 or whatever their current widest strap is. I've got an M6 that i swore by until i got my Italia.
