Comfort Strapp question

[Paul S]

Just got a Comfort Strapp and, on the whole, it looks like a good bit of kit. It holds my new heavy bass nice and steady without the neck dive.

Not sure about the leather bits at the end, though - they seem a bit flimsy. Has anyone had a problem with them?

Also the Douglas Connector thingy - although i thought I had measured correctly I would ideally have the strap an inch longer - has anyone fixed their strap on the longer hole position for any length of time? Would it benefit from strap locks, in this case?

Ok, that is more than one question.

Ta.

I fitted schaller straplocks to mine as I had them anyway and don't trust that double hole in the leather bit.
Had them a couple of years no problems yet

I've used various combinations of Comfort Strapp lengths, holes, and straplocks over the last few years.

Never had a problem yet with any of them.

Thanks - I feel more reassured now. I've just ordered some straplocks which I guess takes the strain off the material anyway. For sure it is very comfy - more so than a wide leather strap I have already.

I fold the leather ends over so the straplocks go through the 'longer' and 'shorter' holes...

[Paul S]

Yes - that would seem ideal, really. I can do that at one end but would probably prefer to keep it longer at the other.

That's exactly how you are supposed to do it...I've been using mine, with straplocks too, for nearly 4 years and never had a problem.

Absolutely correct and great staps (strapps) imo.

+1 for mine too

Compromised - one end folded, one end single layer + straplocks. It does do what it says on the tin, though - it is comfy and totally curbed any tendency my bass had to neck dive.

Thanks all.
