The ultimate strap!!

I bought an Italia Big 5 bass strap off of Ebay. It was around $30 total. It has replaced my old levy's as my main strap. It's 5 inches across-i'd go for more height adjustments, but for $30-it's amazing. Really spreads the weight across the shoulder.

If i see them for around this price again-I'm going to pickup at least one or two more.
 
I'm going to have to try that shokstrap!!

From my experience, the comfort strapp is garbage. It was less comfortable, to begin with, than the Fender strap that came with my '00 MIA jazz. Secondly, after only a month's worth of gigs, I noticed the stitching coming apart at the right end of the strap - and I play in a soft-rock band with a music man 5.

Maybe the problem was that I was playing in a soft-rock band with a music man 5...:ninja:
