What Strap Do You USe?

[BassGirl1122]

Does anyone have a suede strap? I'm wondering if they are better or worse than the regular leather?

I use a suede one on my main bass and I love it! I have also used a leather one on my bf's bass and it is well broke in and really liked that too.
The other basses got the nylon ones on it, and I don't like it that much cause it tends to slip more and it aggravates me when it does that. Only time it doesn't slip is when I have a tank top on and it rests on my bare skin.

I have an Italia that is great. I would like to try a moody, but I just can't justify the price when the Italia is quite comfortable.

Comfort Strapp Pro Bass Short. Any other strap doesn't get high enough for me, except for the el-cheapo nylon ones that are too uncomfortable.

If you like the look and feel of Neotech, you should definitely check out Mono. Very stylish and comfortable.

I use the "Y" strap by Michele Morin.

It hooks over both shoulders, which evenly distributes the weight of the bass. Let's me wear a bass for hours with no stress. I've used it for many years - can't think of how I could live without it. Before I endured pain from overburdening one shoulder. No more! Check it out...

That looks interesting. I wish the website had more pictures. The one they show for the sample looks really thin and narrow.

I use a Taylor strap. Bought it for my acoustic but I don't play my Taylor standing up.

I have the Levys Boot leather padded straps (not super wide) and they work fine. I've got an old one that has suede ends and a woven cotton middle that is really great too. I don't like them too wide or stretchy. I like my bass to feel anchored.

Almost always black straps - black goes with everything. I currently have several of the same strap that I bought years ago (I use strap locks, so they never wear out) and there's no name on 'em - I'd get more if I could. The closest thing I've been able to find recently is a Planet Waves 2 3/4" padded strap.

I highly recommend checking out Mono. I took a chance on them & couldn't be happier. They are wide and super cush. You can order them direct from the website. I think mine was around $40, which isn't "cheap" but isn't unreasonable either.

I use an Onori strap. I saw it on the rack at SamAsh and I didn't have anything other than a 1.5" Ernie Ball strap of my dad's for guitar, so I got it. It was about $38, but i get $28 cause they just gave us random discounts. (We got my GK Amp, my brother's drum set + a few hardware packs & A cymbal pack, and my dad got his Bogner Tube Line 6 Spider Valve 212.. Huge commissions..)

Back on topic, it's a great strap. Pretty cheap, two holes for low-wear and high wear, as well as adjustable length, as it's in two parts with holes every inch or so you can weave them in between. It's also cushioned, and looks like granite stone on the outside! It's really cool.

I use a strap covered with skeleton hands holding a martini glass. I have no idea why.

3 inch wide Leavy straps. Comfy and secure, with Dunlop locks.

I just got a Neotech Mega Bass. The strap is good but too short for me....I'm a big guy. Looking for recommendations for a very long, wide strap that won't put me in the poorhouse but will help alleviate my shoulder pain.

My fav is a leather strap I got at GC like 15 years ago it's about 1/4" thick.
