TRBboy Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 ......again, I know, I know! I really want a new strap, but it has to be VERY comfortable and durable. I don't like anything that drags on your clothes (suede and so on), and having previously owned a Neotech strap I don't think I want anything too stretchy either. Mono GS1? Quality padded leather strap? Any other suggestions?! Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I read something about them breaking, but it may have been the Comfort Strapp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpup Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 The metal bit is fine - it was the Comfort Strapps that had the issues i believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamPodmore Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I use a bog standard Fender 2" leather one that's atleast 5 or 6 years old, i'll see if there's any specifics on it when i get home. I find it really comfy with pretty much all of my basses, and it DEFINATELY doesn't stick to clothes (This confirmed by throwing a p bass around my neck in true rockstar fashion when bored one evening) Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehux Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I've got 3 of these, and find them really comfortable and well made http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/hypnotic_straps_and_aluminium_art_design/m.html?item=251196614742&pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item3a7c7c2856&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my second one on here for very little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRBboy Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 Thanks for all your opinions guys, but I've gone off-piste a little. Father Christmas will hopefully be leaving a Minotaur bass strap under the tree!

Lozz196 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 That looks very nice. I`ve got a Levys leather strap that is roughly the same width, and I`ve had it for some 6 years now, very comfortable and hard-wearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) I bought a Brooklyn Gear neoprene strap from Stringbusters about 9 years ago and its done 100s of gigs. Very comfortable and hopefully will last a lot longer -you can get them [url="http://www.stringbusters.com/Ko-Bespoke/productlist.asp?cat=1/STRAPS/STRAPS+BROOKLYN+GEAR"]here[/url] for £22 Edited December 21, 2012 by Delberthot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westie9 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I've got a comfort strap. Love it, but did put a black cable tie through the plastic adjuster just in case it does ever go.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
