Moderators ThudMaker Posted August 27, 2007 Moderators Posted August 27, 2007 ok, are there any difference between bass strap and Acoustic/electric gutiar straps?also, can you use elec strap locks with bass???No difference, but you may want a wider width than for your electric. Also a suede back will be anti-slip if your bass is neck heavy. I don't believe that strap lock manufacturers differentiate between guitars and basses.
Members Rhythm Junky Posted August 27, 2007 Members Posted August 27, 2007 I love those straps that Vintage Guitar Magazine used to offer on their online store. They were vintage straps at about $34 a pop and well worth it. Alas, they don't offer them anymore and I can't find out what company made them.
Members Mytola Posted August 27, 2007 Members Posted August 27, 2007 I use a wide leather strap, with some packing foam taped to the inside of it. I have duct tape wrapped all around the strap as well. Really comfy and nice.
Members Brother Mango Posted August 28, 2007 Members Posted August 28, 2007 I have the Sunzeye strap on this page.http://www.eyelandenterprises.com/html/straps5.html I'd buy it again if I lost this one; but I wouldn't buy it again with the blinking eye. It's designed in such a way that I was always knocking the battery compartment out. Right now it's not even in the strap.
Members D Aussie Posted August 28, 2007 Members Posted August 28, 2007 I only like the ones made of nylon car seat belt style. I like to be able to move the instrument around alot while playing and find leather and suede to 'grippy'.
