martthebass Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Well, I've just got my nice minty fresh US 2007 Precision (courtesy of OHM) and one question I gotta ask - are the strap buttons meant to hold - Seriously!? They look like the lockers on my Warwick and nothing at all like proper strap buttons like on my old (and departed) MIM Jazz and current MM Sterling. If I have to do a swap out for lockers what do you suggest - I'd prefer not to do any drilling (the dunlops I got for my MM would have needed this and I didn't want to tempt fate so I went out and bought a nice Levys tight strap instead). Cheers guys, Mart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Aren't they Schaller straplock compatible? My 2004 MIA has those. They're nice and tight, too. Never worked loose! They don't have any real "flange" on them, so using a naked strap on them means it'll probably fall off. Get thee some Schaller straplocks. You can get 'em nearly anywhere. Cost about £15 in silver. More in black or gold. Faliling that, use some Grolsch bottle rubber washers over the top of the strap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the Schaller thing, considering the price of an MIA you would have thought they would have included straplocks especially as the buttons don't work with 'ordinary' straps - Warwick do.

Vorsprung Durch Technik[/quote] Mart The Precision came with Schaller straplocks as standard, but only the end that fits on the bass (not the part that fits on the strap). I think I've got a couple of strap parts spare so I'll send them on to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
