But that said a 4000 only has two knobs. I don't know why started this post. 😆 Wow, that de-escalated quickly! 😄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straps are very personal imo. I use Levi’s and have a Status strap on the Status. They vary in width and length (all are adjustable), some are leather (my preference) some are material. Personally I prefer the adjustable levy’s notch type, rather than the plastic slide buckle type. It won’t matter to much at the outset. 👍🏻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 As said straps are down to a personal preference. I used to always just use the old skool 2" wide nylon type. But now with the availability on the Internet I've settled on the Mono Betty's as my favourite, lots don't like them though. Personally I don't like anything grippy as it pulls my top to bunch on my shoulder, others love a grippy strap. Some like padded, some don't. All I would say is that the wider (up to about 4") the more comfortable it will be in the long run as it spreads the load over a larger area of shoulder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've asked for a cable and a random strap, so hopefully the strap is ok, if not can always treat myself later down the line 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
