Chop the headstock off it will solve the rest!

 

Emailed RightOn to see about getting a wider version made up.

Of course it is. Are you happy wearing the flayed skin of a dead animal around your neck, yes / no.

To be very precise, the options here are yes/yes. The animals (and woods) turned to oil do not renew at all in any feasible timeline. And they affect our atmosphere, so I do not see choices here, good ones, that is.

I have avoided this thread because I thought it was about some post punk band.

I really want this one but I'll probably have to spend every Sunday cleaning it as it'll show every tiny bit of dirt

If you are putting on a white bass, you can do them both at the same time

I've used my yellow righton with my bullet mustang for a few days now and I'm a convert - it looks great, is really comfortable to wear and the pleckie holders are more handy than I expected them to be.

 

This one would go nicely with my white thunderbird

When I get paid I'll be ordering an 80mm wide version of the Gulf strap I got...

Coincidentally looking at the description of the bass in your sig it will be turquoise

My turquose bass and its strap are on page 3 of this thread. I did consider white but I really wanted something closer.

Does anyone here who owns one keep their strap attached to their bass in it's gig bag?

 

I'm thinking that the metal length  adjustment thingies might scratch the body.

I always do, never had an issue.

No problem here with keeping them attached in hard cases. 

I just scored another RightOn! off eBay today.

[Delberthot]

Cool. They're really cool and look to be well made and want one so that's good news 👍

I'm not sure which bass it's going on until it arrives, but this is the listing

nice - it'll go with pretty much anything

[Jean-Luc Pickguard]

I like my go-faster banana righton strap so much that I have now placed an order for the white righton mojo strap for my white vintage pro thunderbird.

I ordered a Couch strap from the States and it arrived nine days later and no duty or import fees to pay. Result. Being a child of the seventies I went for the Scout Caravan Royal Red Detroit '78.

And very nice it is too 🙂  Lucky you - no extra charges to pay! 🙂   I got caught for extra charges on both the straps I had directly from Couch.

Nice! I've been tempted by the beige version of that one for a long time.

Do RightOn offer non leather versions of all their straps? I was looking at the Fakey Black, with the clef symbol on, but the description states that it’s leather

Not all their straps, but the Mojo series.  I've got two of them - very well made and comfortable.

I have the paisley blue and its really good. The only downside I would say is that it is a bit stiff.

That and I sold the bass it lived with!

Cool. Thanks, I’ll take a look at them. Looking for a replacement for my Neotech mega

I can understand the interest in vegan straps but at the moment I have no interest them or any straps containing plastic. In the past, the ones I have bought containing plastic coatings end up cracking along the edges and then being scratchy on the the exposed skin of my shoulder or side of my neck. Leather ones just seem to get softer over time so tend to become more flexible and softer as they age.  Also I don't trust plastic fittings that hold the tabs as my basses are pretty heavy. My straps are all leather no plastic or metal except for the straplocks.
