This is why i favour darker hues. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your strap collection sort of enforces cheerfulness, whether or not you actually feel cheerful. Remember, the bass players job is to stand next to the drummer and look fed up. Largely because we're stood next to the bloody drummer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobthedog Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Currently only three bass guitars but nine guitar straps. Ten if I include the Jock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stub Mandrel Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 This gorgeous one arrived today! Really long leather tabs and very thick material too and only £3.99 from a UK seller! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaytonaRik Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Surely it's always 1 per bass/guitar that you own hence a total of 7 for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 My main strap is a 3" neoprene one for my dicky shoulder that I use for both basses and skinny guitar. I've got a couple of others lying around that I don't really use. Big, fat, stretchy straps are the way forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 5 currently, but one will be hoofed into the skip soon. Of the keepers, this is my fave ... it's a beastly 4" and unbelievably comfortable https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/208644801/wide-guitar-strap-bass-guitar-strap?ref=landingpage_similar_listing_top-4&frs=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 One for each instrument and a couple that I don’t use anymore. almost all are Neotech Mega Bass Straps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just realised I can use them to make broad under-straps. Adding one to my genuine Ace peace and dove strap will give me the authentic Neil Young effect (just add a Gold Top LP and paint black...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Also a veggie going on 35 years + and i got mine second hand ( and free ) by mistake ! I would never pay such a ridiculous £88 for a strap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12stringbassist Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 About 60, mainly checker straps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I've suddenly realised that I have more straps than I need, especially pristine, padded leather ones. Time to hit the for sale section. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SH73 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 What's a guitar strap. I am a solo home "artist" do don't use one really. I own a comfort strap and two cheapos that probably dug in your shoulders and neck. I found one under the workbench covered in dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzbass Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Fart oo many 6 basses, 9 straps, at least. I've got a nice padded leather one for my Fender Am Std and am slowing buying the same strap with different colour upholstery backing for the others. I've recently installed the Diablo Twist Lock strap pins so once a strap is on it's staying on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so comfortable, can't see myself ever getting rid! It fixes the only minor problem I have with my Jazz - the weight! The other is just a cheapo nylon (probably) strap that I stuck on a titchy little Yamaha Pacifica, as that's already light as a feather.
