goblin Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Has anyone ever used these? I'm wondering what they're like as I'm after something a bit more forgiving than a standard leather strap. I've tried a Bass Collection comfort strap before, but they feel a bit on the cheap side, and there's apparently the issue with the plastic snapping on them (and my basses ain't light) I'm just looking for some thoughts really.

ambient Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Short is too long, and the long is ridiculously so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I really like them. I use one with my '63 Jazz, just seems to fit and balance better than anything lose on this particular bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leroydiamond Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Could not get on with the Mono, Had been using the comfort strap but a couple of years ago got a gift of a soft, wide leather strap and that for me is the most comfortable.

[/quote] Have you tried the genuine comfort strap, the one with the 2 p's , nothing cheap about them, and there's one for sale at the moment too.

goblin Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 Yep, still wasn't struck to be honest. I don't particularly like the aesthetics of them which probably doesn't help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpup Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I have the Mono on both basses. Love 'em. They feel bombproof and are so comfy. Agree about the length thing though. I tried both lengths and settled on running the long strap at its shortest ish. The short strap at its longest wasnt right. They should just do one version thats inbetween. Suggest you buy online so you can try one for a week before you decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I use a Mono, love it. Looks cool and feels nice to wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Undead Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 The short one is just about the right size for me. But, I may be alone here, I found the back of the strap too slippery and it made neck dive worse. So I sent it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I have five of these... Just sort of got into the habit of using them. I'm not sure which way round you are supposed to have them though? is the mono decal supposed to be facing your bass or away behind you? Also, I agree with the length thing... the short is only just short enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooks79 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I'm a big fan of these straps, I use the long ones set quite short. I've not long bought a 2nd so I've got one on both basses I use regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle psychosis Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Not tried the Mono straps but I do have a Neotech Mega Bass Strap which I believe is very similar. Its fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumple Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I have one on my SR5 it's very comfortable, it's a short one set to it's shortest length and is just right for me luckily! I keep the Mono on the bass all the time and cramming them both into a case can be tricky as it's quite chunky and is prone to stopping the case from shutting properly, obviously not a problem if you remove it each time though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreeneKing Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Don't confuse the Bass Centre Comfort Strap with the real thing, a Comfort Strapp. The latter is good and a real cure for slight neck dive. I've a Mono strap too and rate it highly. Edited December 11, 2013 by GreeneKing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should try another. I do love the look [/quote] Maybe, mine is fairly grippy. Prefer it to the comfort strapps I've used over the past few years, much more range in lengths, but the monos won't go as short. If it's of interest I have a used short and long comfort strapp available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njr911 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I have a mono after searching for a decent strap for ages. I've gone for a short at it's it's longest setting. Great stuff...I love most things that mono make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
