Raslee Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) Hi, i am after something like this : [url="http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Steinberger-Synapse-Bass-Strap-Hook-with-Screws?sku=369900"]http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/pro...rews?sku=369900[/url] However they won't ship this from the American site (w@$%erz) and am struggling to find anywhere else to get one. Unfortunately i am not very practical and lack the means to make anything like this but if any one want to make one i'd be happy to pay!

Put out a yell for one of the US based people on the board - there's a few - I'm sure they'd sort that out for you .. Do you have a synapse? Any good? there's an L2 on ebay at the mo but it has a 1500 reserve on it Edited November 13, 2008 by OldGit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raslee Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 Cheers Oldgit, I've changed my title calling for some USA intervention (few sounds political almost!). To answer your Q no i haven't got a Synapse....although i'd certainly like to try one. I've just bought a Spirit (budget Steinberger) of another B/Cer. I used to have a Hohner headless and didn't like how it sat when playing so i purchased a synapse hook from a USA shop but alas that shop has ceased trading. I've tried looking around the net with no luck other than online shops that will not trade steinberger parts with the UK (Why?).....so calling all American BCers...can you help????

I had a spirit and made a pivoting wing strap thing like the L2 had.. Wish I'd just thought of the hook Let me know if you are stuck and I'll see if my mate in Canada can help ...

bassbloke Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Parcel2Go will set you up with a US address for this purpose. It's a PO box address but it's linked to your UK address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
