What's your strap situation?

I have 7 basses and maybe 5 or 6 straps. None cheap, other than the Fender case candy ones that I don't use.

 

I have a couple Neotech straps and that is all I will use for now on. Amazing straps that I wish I would have tried earlier. Almost completely cancel out a basses weight.

 

Each of my basses has a dedicated strap. They're all relatively cheap straps. I don't use strap locks.

 

Maybe five or six straps . Eighteen basses .

 

One strap with Schaller strap locks for use with all of my instruments

Yep, every bass has a strap. Most of them are semi-permanently afixed with Grolsch beer bottle washers, two of them have Dunlop StrapLocks, and one of them has the very permanent Billy Sheehan-endorsed machine-screw-embedded-in-the-tail-end-of-the-bass attachment.

The last thing I want to worry about when I grab a bass for a gig is "Did I remember to pack a strap?"

 

One strap, an oldie from the original TB store. Everything has Dunlop StrapLocks, except for a Breedlove acoustic which has its own strap.

 

4 neoprene straps, 2 with Schallers and 2 with Dunlops......1 of each left at 2 the locations where my basses live.

 

Must have at least 50 straps, maybe more. I own a lot of basses

30 of them are exactly the same. Bulk order from China cost about the same as buying 3 Levys.

 

I have 4 basses and each has it's own planet waves bass strap.

 

I have a strap for each bass/guitar/mandolin.
As they are different sizes & shapes and the strap knobs are in different places I need different lengths--so rather than readjust a strap all the time, they each have their own.
For my 2 basses I have a leather strap & a suede strap.
I've never paid over $25 for a strap--the ones I have are comfortable & do what I need them to do.

 

Three basses and one guitar, four completely different straps. Nice leather ones for the basses, cloth weave for the guitar. Each instrument wants and needs something different and I typically hold on to instruments for a a very long time.

 

I have a whole bunch of straps that I use for different reasons. One is clear and looks really cool, two or three are very orthopedic for when I use heavy basses, and the rest I just seem to have accumulated over the years and almost never use them. On a gig, I stick with one no matter how many basses I bring because I usually have a transmitter attached to it. But rarely do I bring more than one bass, and I do that under protest.

 

Pretty much the same here. I do have one instrument (the one in my avatar) that requires its own dedicated strap due to button placement on the back of the body rather than the upper horn, and a couple of cheap straps lying around for instruments I’m not sure I’m keeping.

 

I'm an avowed Comfort Strapp user.
But I recently tried out a Neotech Mega Strap.
I found that it wasn't as good as a Comfort Strapp at cancelling neck dive on my fretteds.
But it works well on my fretless.

 

I've had one strap since I started playing bass. I've never really thought about it, but it's true. I bought this strap back when I bought my very first bass, and I've used it with every bass, for every rehearsal and every single gig.

It's dark brown with black edges, wide, and nicely padded. I also like that it's slick so it doesn't tug on my clothes.

Wow, that's a hell of a strap!

 

I only play with the strap even sitting, so for convenience and avoiding wear and tear all my instruments have its own strap. Usually leather (3 inches or wider) or neoprene like the Neotech bass strap. No strap locks are used-tried that once (schaller style) but didn’t like the clanging of metal and it just wasn’t needed. I will use the rubber washers though if a strap hole is on the looser side.

 

I use schaller style strap locks so I only have 3 straps that I use on all of my basses.

 

This is the the strap that came new with my bass 41 years ago. It is the only one I used until I met TB. Now I have [counts] nine. They're a great deal less expensive than basses
