Guitar strap help

[phatkat]

Im looking for a wide strap for my bass, i'd quite like suede or leather/suede and it needs to be 54"/140cm Anyone know of something that might suit the job... it appears to be the length thats the problem...

It depends on your budget, I use a Moody Leathers one which (I've got quite short) but can be used really long...problem is they're around $160 new from America, so they're not cheap. Try Levy's too, they're quite good

Have a look at this lot. Maybe not wide enough.

Minotaur Bass straps are what I use and they are the dogs dingly dangly bits. Fairly pricey mind (£40ish) about 4" wide and 60" long.

Another one to look out for is that if you're looking for a wide strap for comfort, they're more likely to be more uncomfortable, as too wide and you find yourself with your strap cutting into your neck. I find that my 2.5" Levy's Leather strap is more comfortable than the 4.5" Moody. Almost to the point of selling the Moody and using the change to buy another Levy's, although those Corvo's look lush!

I've just got my minotaur strap and very comfy it is as well. Getting the Schaller straplock on the front end of the strap where it is thick leather was a struggle - but I got there. It was a 7 day wait before a little parcel from Greece appeared.
