Do short straps actually exist?

[Dolando]

Hi,

I've been looking to get a nice strap for my warmoth I'm currently building, and can't seem to find one that goes short enough. I'm looking for one that goes to about 83cm. I where it high and I'm only 5' 7.

I've looked at bear straps and randy straps and the don't really grab my fancy, and i like the Minotaur straps, but they dont go short enough.

Anyone know any makes that I should look at?

Cheers.

I am only 5"8 and have the same issue. I find a 'short' Comfort Strapp on the shortest setting is okay for me. According the the internet their shortest is 33" which is just under 84cm so might be your best bet.

Would be interested to hear any other options from others though!

A couple of years ago I had a strap made for me by this chap; [url="http://www.barefootleather.co.uk/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=244"]http://www.barefootleather.co.uk/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=244[/url]
Since they're made to order, he should be able to do whatever length you need.

How do your find the comfort strap? I have looked at them, but not sure about them.

Those barefoot straps look great, might drop him a message to see if you he can do one with a slightly different brown.

Any others?

Ask this guy where he gets his.

I really like mine, really comfy and spreads the weight, but I can understand why some wouldn't like them.

Cheapest place is the Gallery, Camden that I've found, I think I might get some more soon!

Haha Yea that should be short enough!

I'm quite liking the barefoot straps, one in a dark brown would be ideal. Might even get a name pit on it. Can't decide if it's cheesy or not...

I am not too tall and I like to wear my bass a little higher than some

Just bought a short version of their strap.. Start at 31"

Very good strap extremely well made with quality leather

I would recommend one of these

And a 2 days delivery time was also welcomed

Hey thanks for the post.

This was kinda scary because I've not thought about a strap since...well may and I was just sat in my Garden with my girlfriend and she can't think of something to get me for my birthday. All of a sudden though, I thought, "I know I nice bass strap". So I looked at my old post and found a new comment on it posted around the same time as i thought of it...Thats scary!!

Any way I'd like to get a custom made one, I'd quite like a brown leather one as well.

It's always nice when an old thread is made new again

Custom made brown leather one sounds a good option

All the best

Yea, I've been talking to Sarah from randystraps.com and we're coming up with a design to go with the warmoth. Quite excited to see the end result. Ill post pics when it arrives.
