Guest MoJo Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Has anyone else noticed that if you have a twist in your strap, you always turn it in the direction that introduces another twist first, when trying to get the twist out?

rogerstodge Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 You’re bang on there mojo, then you try to twist it the other way and end up with 2 twists in it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 This happens to me. Every bloody time. Even if I work out which way to untwist it, its always wrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinnyman Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I find it easier to just get in with the twist and then do a roly-poly while wearing the bass. No I don't. I have the same issue as everyone else.....it's even worse when you have a wireless transmitter clipped to the strap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LITTLEWING Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I'm normally okay with that. My problem EVERY freakin' time is the guitar stand coming with me when I lift my bass to start a set.... 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I've given up, I undo the straplok every time! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I'm with Vinny on this one. After years of turning the strap the wrong way I just unclip the strap lock at the bridge end of the body and let it unfankle itself then clip it back on. Saves getting annoyed at an inanimate object when it doesn't do what you want it to 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 That effing strap twist alway gets me. I swear there's a strap consipracy going on, and the strap knows it winds me up. It's not like it's just one strap, either. I have around 4 and the cunning bustards all do it. Like bungee cords that always manage to hit you in the bluddy face, the strap twists out of sheer bluddy mindedness. Accidently kicking the muthas down the stairs doesnt help at all. They're so light they just shake it off. I may take my Black & Decker heat gun to the next one and see how it likes that bad boy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky L Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 It's part of the same law in physics that determines you can only ever insert a USB product after flipping it over a minimum of three times. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown_User Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 So cathartic reading this thread! Thank goodness it's not just me being an idiot! I'm sure that doesn't help, but at least it's not just that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I manage to unwind mine, but only after I've stood staring at it slack-jawed for a minute or two, working out the topology. It would probably be quicker to take it off and put it on again. Off at a tangent - why is it that no guitarist (apart from me) uses straplocks, regardless of how expensive their instruments are? Every time they put a twist in their straps, I have to tell them otherwise their guitars would fall off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davo-London Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 We have it easy to be sure. Have you seen LH and RH drummers share a kit? It's furken hilarious. My peeve is my in-ears. One goes in easily - the other one is a constant source of angst. The swine just won't go in. Davo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
