StingRayBoy42 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Can anyone recommend a good, padded strap that has a vintage look to it? I love the Mono Betty (I have one for each Bass), but for some reason the long black ones are now over sixty quid. I just got a Squier 50s P Bass and I want something that looks the part, but also has some padding for my aged shoulder. Thanks in advance!

StingRayBoy42 Posted October 9, 2022 Author Share Posted October 9, 2022 That looks rather fine. What's the padding like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naxos10 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 It's not mega thick but iscomfortable. The thickness of the leather and padding allow the strap to spread the pressure over the shoulder rather than in one place. PM me if interested in the strap.

Paul S Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I have a few of the Maruszczyk leather straps and they are the most comfortable padded straps I have ever bought. Various widths and finishes available, even one called Retro.

My Retro is very comfortable and already has the road worn look, so any extra marks only add character! Says the marketing BS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says the marketing BS! It also fits your colour requirements - it has black edging on the tan centre! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StingRayBoy42 Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 They're gorgeous but a bit pricey... I might be asking Santa for one! Bought a nice looking Levy's from another BC'er, feel free to keep suggestions coming! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
