I just thought we had summin' special is all... 😔 Nice strap though! I'd be tempted if I hadn't bought 50% of the world's supply of straps in the last week. -
Do I need to issue another Bromance alert?

Bought an M-Audio Oxygen 61 midi keyboard from Paul, a very smooth and easy transaction! Another credit to Basschat! Thanks sir. Russ.

So this is the last of my straps for sale! Now £14 with postage included! This is a Code Suede and Leather Strap, 2" wide by 52" Long hole to hole. Can be adjusted to much smaller if needed. Very comfortable, nice brown colour. Looking for £16.50 including UK postage. Cheers, Russ. -
Hi, One more strap for sale! This one is a 6cm wide leather strap with a suede underside, it is very lightly padded and very supple and comfortable to wear. Extended to 120cm in its current set up. The tab is marked with a 'Leathercraft Liverpool' stamp but the underside of the tab is black whereas the rest of the strap is tan. I really can't remember where I got this from so it might be a different tab to the main body but in any event both strap and tab work beautifully and are very comfortable! Looking for £20 with UK postage included. Cheers, Russ. -
Hi, Another strap for sale! This is a Neotech strap in more or less new condition - it extends to a maximum length of 115cm so I think its the Regular/Short version Looking for £18 with postage included. Cheers, Russ.

Selling yet more straps! Though this is part of the final bunch! This one is a Levys suede strap in a vintage brown colour. It's only been used a few times though I have had it for a while. The strap is 2" wide and extended to a maximum of 57" so should suit anyone within reason. Looking for £13.50 with UK postage included. Cheers, Russ.

PM'd re single. -
Mr Mudpup bought a strap from me, one of the circa 16,000 I was selling! Good egg around, turn up when he said he would, paid upfront, lully job around. As advertised your payment was donated to charity - £25 to Wateraid thanks to your purchase. Top marks to another credit to Basschat!

Stick a black and white filter on your pictures and it'll pass for vintage!

@Helen S - Personally I would give the Marlin a miss. They are not particularly good basses and often, because they are cheap, they are not set up to play very well at all. If your son is just starting out my recommendation is avoid the cheapest 'new' basses and go for something around the £200 price point if affordable - both Yamaha and Ibanez do some very respectable basses at this price point. Harley Benton are worth taking a look at too. If you buy something super cheap the chances are it will be unpleasant to play and may end up with your son not pursuing playing bass because of it. Spending just a little more to ensure you get something that will be a pleasure to play will help ensure he enjoys playing and continues it for many years! There are a lot of decent basses in the for sale section on this forum and most sellers are very easy to talk to if you need some honest advice about what they're selling. I hope you find the right bass! (There's a Peavey Fury II for sale here for £100, that'd be a perfectly respectable first bass and is a great price so if he decides not to pursue playing after a while you can sell it and you won't loose money)

Officially PM'd sir! -
Excellent choice sir! PM responded! -
I can talk you into it?? Go on, buy it! That way I can buy the one from@paulmcnamara and everyone wins!

Hi all, I'm only listing this as there's a 61 version for sale that I wouldn't mind 'upgrading' to. This model is currently for sale at £115 through Andertons, so £60 for my one which has only sat on my desk for a few months with some very minor usage seems like a deal! I have the box for it still and whatever booklets etc that came with it. It still has the plastic sticker thing over the display too. Not a mark on it anywhere! £60 collected or £70 posted within the UK. If the 61 versions sells, then I'll be withdrawing this.

Hi all, So I bought this Richter Vegan Strap as a B-Stock item directly from Richter for £34 (RRP is £56). I contacted them regarding returning the strap as for me the material is too stiff and also at my height (6'4") and with the strap adjusted to my preferred length (115cm) the stitching between the tab with the upper horn pin hole and the main body of the strap sits right on the highest pressure point on my shoulder and is quite uncomfortable. Unfortunately Richter acted quite poorly in their conduct during our correspondence, they essentially called me a liar and told me I was trying to extort them... all I did was open a PayPal resolution asking for a refund on this strap only (not postage costs or for the other strap I also bought). I did offer to return the strap to them if they provided pre-paid postage or contributed towards return postage costs. The response I received from them through PayPal was quite unprofessional and wholly unnecessary. Akin to the rant of a spoilt child. Anyway, long story short, they elected to refund the £34 I paid for this strap and as such I'm now selling it on with all sales proceeds going to charity as I've got my money back already and I don't care to further interact with Richter in any shape or form ever again. The strap is in very good condition (it does not come with the strap locks!!!) and is 11cm wide and can be adjusted from 98cm - 158cm (according to their website). I'm asking for £25 collected. Please add £3.20 for second class postage). All proceeds of this sale (not including postage costs) will be donated to charity - if you buy the strap you can choose the charity (so long as it is a worthy one!) Pictures below, any questions please ask! -
To that I say go XXXX yourself sir!

Your real name is XXXX?

I'll ask them. I think the minor issue is that not a lot of people want to go 5" wide, though unless you're particularly petite, that width really spreads the load very well across the shoulder and back and definitely stops 'the ache'.
