Longer thread strap locks

Recommended Posts

Afternoon
I have a lovely new strap, however it is really thick
I am struggling to put my schaller strap locks on it, and actually found that one flew off mid gig last week.
Are there any strap locks that have a longer "thread" for the nut?

I've got a set of these which I think are far better then the Schaller design

I think they'll work on thick straps, too - I'll have a look when I get home...

Cheers

I had this problem with my new strap, i solved it by following this tutorial
[url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/70420-schaller-strap-locks-and-how-to-fit-them-properly/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/70420-schaller-strap-locks-and-how-to-fit-them-properly/[/url]
and replaced the washer with a 0.7mm plectrum with a suitable hole cut in it, this was thin enough to allow he retaining nut to sit properly and protected the strap from the nut, i also used a drop of threadlock on the thread to stop the nut loosening,

OK the 'Marvel' style locks will work - the screw which holds the plate against the strap will hold it securely. It'll go wide enough to hold twice the thickness of my 'Comfort Strapp'

Hope that helps

Cheers
