Great strap
By Daniel L Christle
I found it to provide good support for my Fender basses and made it possible to play longer without the pain sometimes caused by smaller straps. They arrive stiff and require a decent amount of breaking in before they get more comfortable.

My, my.... That's a big strap you've got there.
By D. Gray
I had no idea this thing was so huge. It needs a good breaking in before it will feel right. It's somewhat bulky due to being slightly inflexible overall. This is due to the Velcro(hook n loop) inside the shoulder pad. The loop part is on the underside of the tail end of the strap and has an adjustable end as well to shorten the length. The hook part is on the inside of the shoulder pad on the tail end just where the strap feeds through the pad. You can separate the Velcro and slide the pad into position and squeeze them together and it stays in place really well.This is pretty much garment leather. I've read some other reviews stating the leather wasnt as nice as they expected and that's not the case in my opinion. It's pretty supple and smells very nice(like the luggage store in the mall). The Velcro is what gives it the sense of inflexibility and I suspect that will break-in nicely like most other quality straps. I just this with Schaller locks to keep my precious(Fender American Select Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar Crimson Red Transparent) safe and secure.

Awesome retro-look strap
By J. Rodino
I was looking for a strap for my Hofner Icon bass that I could also use on my Musicman Sting-ray. I've worn the MM pretty low-slung in the past (>20 years ago), and wanted extra length. Also, the MM weighs a TON (10.5 #), and I needed to spread the force to save my old shoulder. Since this was listed as a BASS strap, I assumed I would get the extra length. Never assume, I know that. Turns out it felt a bit short for the Hofner, even though I wear that fairly high. I was expecting problems with the MM, but it is just perfect. Guess I wear that a little higher now than I did, but it feels perfect right where it is. The 5" pad handles the weight beautifully, and the tight peg-holes give no worries about coming off. The slender strap looks good on the Hofner, too, very retro and in keeping with the style of straps in the early '60s.As to specs, the strap is actually 1 1/2", the pad is nicely conformed to accomodate your neck, and is adjustable so you can get it in that perfect spot. If 5" sounds too wide, don't worry about it, it rides great. The velcro-type adjusment is quick and easy, and even the pad has a velcro strip, so once you adjust it, it stays put. This is a 50" strap, and I use it at full-length for both basses. Guess the peg-mounting spots are what make the difference. I got the black, btw, which is from an outside seller that delivered DAYS ahead of schedule, Music123. The price difference ($30 for black vs. $85 for colors from Amazon) made the difference, but I like the black. It almost disappears against any dark shirt and lets the bass be the center of attention. I highly recommend this strap, and if you want to spring the extra $55 for the colors, it's your money.
