obi 2 kenobi Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Hi, does anyone have recommendations for a quality strap for a heavy bass. Got a Mono GS1 which is great but falling apart (it’s 10 years old). Bass is 6 string ken smith BT. Not light thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6feet7 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 These - the 12cm wide ones. I've been searching for years and these are the best I've found (for me, anyway). http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Maruszczyk_straps.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronJ Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 (edited) Excellent suggestion above. These look less classy than the Maruszczyks but I swear by them. Most comfortable straps I’ve ever used - now I won’t use anything else: http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Comfort_Strapp.html Edited May 26, 2018 by CameronJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I had the comfort strap and upgraded to the Neotech Mega bass strap. Very wide, very comfy. I’ve got them on all my basses now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I have one of these, recommended on here when I was looking, and been very happy with it for years: https://dslstraps.com.au/product-category/premium-straps/garment/padded-garment/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delberthot Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Another thing I would always suggest is moving the bass around during the course of a gig so that it's not sitting on the same part of the shoulder for the entire night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
