Jackroadkill Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380872735724?var=651036108065 I use one of these with each of my two main basses, one of which is black and the other white. The straps are both black - because black goes with everything. The straps are decent quality, functional and pretty reasonably priced.

Newfoundfreedom Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Nope. I have a grand total of two straps. Both black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimR Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Never considered ot before but some of the strap and bass combinations are great. Might have to find myself a nice light brown leather one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Slightly ashamed to admit that I generally choose the strap to match my stage outfit rather than the bass..... 🤭 Mrs Shaggy teases me for having more straps than she has pairs of shoes, one reason being there’s a couple of excellent local custom makers.

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 Looks like the Teal Perri's strap is a good match for my thunderbird so I'll have to order another. ...I wonder whether matching strap blocks that don't have 'Fender' on them are available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I'm searching for a strap that somewhat matches my dark purple Music Man Silhouette Special... I'm having a hard time so far! I may end up just going black... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this one by searching for "mauve guitar strap". Not sure if this one's a better colour match, but it's not as fancy either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 I used to have a purple bass, so I have this one in my spare straps box. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzyJ Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 These three pretty much cover all my basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBass Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) I have 5 straps, including these: My favourite strap, however, matches the roasted maple neck/fretboards on several of my basses, not the body and I think it works quite well. I'll post a pic soon. Edited March 4 by BillyBass 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyP Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Not an exact match but close enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeEvans Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 The OP's teal strap would look great on a fairly pale natural wood finish. What's that you say? Why yes, I suppose my ACG would be a good example of that kind of finish, since you mention it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downunderwonder Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 My eyes always prefer a good contrast to a close match. The OP teal and slightly different teal gets away with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 What I've realised from reading this thread up to now is, I need more straps, lots, who doesn't love options and buying stuff they don't need?! Also reminded me I have a Minotaur bass clef strap in a case that has been banished to the shed by SWMBO, must dig that out.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StickyDBRmf Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) Rosalynn w/ painted rose by Kate. Sorry it'sa guitar, no basses where I'm living, the only other thing here is a STICK. (original strap on that) Edited March 7 by StickyDBRmf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
