What's your favorite wide strap?

[aparker82]

I assume wide straps are the best bet for heavier basses?

What are some awesome straps you all use or like?

 

[TolerancEJ]

Wide Levy's straps work best for me. My heaviest bass is my Conklin GTBD-7 at 13 Lbs. Some of my other heavier instruments include: F Bass BN6 (I bought the Levy's/F Bass strap with my build), Warwick Thumb BO 6, and Ken Smith KSD Burner Deluxe 6. When I get a new instrument, I always pick up a Levy's strap and a set of Schaller Straplocks.

Levy plain leather. I have one for each of my instruments, all guitars and basses, in colors to match (black for black, dark brown for sunburst, tan for fireglo, light brown for acoustic, etc.) Durable. Adjustable. Value-for-money.

Italias are excellent IMO http://italiastraps.com/guitar-straps-uk.html

I love this strap. Padded, comfy, stylish. A tad pricey, but worth it. Generally goes for about $50, unless you buy it from MF/GC, in which case it'll run you about $75

MONO Betty. They're very comfortable.

 

[PoorePlaysBass]

Another nod to Levy's. Love mine, and they'll be the only straps I buy unless something else knocks them off.

If money is no object, Moody's is the best strap out there. Full grain leather with suede back. Made in USA

A cheap good wide strap is sold by Carvin. Was about $12 when I bought mine, and I use them on all of my basses. The lettering on the old ones used to wear off quickly, but unfortunately stays forever present on the new ones.

Levys MSS90. 3.5in wide and padded. Beautiful leather in different colors.
