Rich Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Three. Main one is my trusty old Comfort Strapp, all joints reinforced with cable ties -- has my wireless transmitter semi-permanently fixed to it. Second is the very lovely Maruszczczczyk one that i won in the SW Bass Bash raffle -- that one comes out for rehearsals and smaller gigs. Third is the cheapass black nylon one that lives with my acoustic bass gtr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) At present I have 3. 2 for live work 1 for rehearsal. If I had every strap I'd ever owned on the other hand I'd have hundreds. Which has got me thinking. What happened to all those straps? Edited March 12, 2019 by stewblack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a spreadsheet... now angsting about adding the banjo ukelele which hasn't got a strap... That’s not sad, it’s brilliant! i love a good spreadsheet, will make one at the slightest excuse. My latest is a list of 64 songs, the order they’re to be learnt in, whether I have the music or tab for them, the mp3 file, etc. but this. This is brilliant. I can feel another thread coming on; best use of spreadsheets 😁 Deep joy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naxos10 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Oops 9 straps and only 4 basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Two. Both are long Comfort Strapps fitted with Schaller strap locks. The difference is that one has the neck strap lock fitted in reverse for use with my Thunderbird, which has the button on the back of the neck. When you have the perfect strap, why do you need another? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got one bass that came with the JD system (which I think puts a bit too much leverage on the buttons) I've got a set of Schaller clips which I used to use but removed the buttons from the guitar they were on. (I wonder if they are on the Maya?) Set of Stagg Schaller compatible still in the packet. To be honest, for some reason I don't like the idea of changing the buttons on a guitar...

bassbiscuits Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I have five straps - two leathergraft softees, two comfort strapps and a generic seatbelt-style thing. Some of my basses/guitars have straplocks, and some don't, so some can share straps and some can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I have 2 basses and 2 straps, permanently attached and never taken off. Plus 1 spare carried in the accessories case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HengistPod Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Loads of straps which I purchased and found either (usually) weren't long enough, have clunky bits or silly patent locking systems on the ends, are uncomfortable or are just not well-made. Really need tidying up and put in a box or something. So I'm left with one which I use with all my basses - a Seymour Duncan thick cotton effort which is absolutely ideal for me. Straplocks on it, and corresponding buttons on every bass. No Thunderbird neck-dive with this baby. Got it off eBay USA. Must try and find another for backup, think they've stopped making them now.

And more to the point, I'm sure the selection process is rigorous and challenging, designed to weed out the unsuitable and the unstable. So that's both of us out then. Anyway, on topic. I have two Comfort Strapps which are superb, a padded Mono strap, a nice leather one for the Ric and a furry one for one of the guitars. Oh, and a Gibson branded one for the Les Paul. All my Guitars have Fender strap locks which are excellent. So i have six straps. Mrs S just has the one (although she may have misheard the question) 😮 Edited March 12, 2019 by Skinnyman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky 4000 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 At least one of Teebs' straps appears in Spinal Tap. 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
