Leonard Smalls Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 In our band we have a policy of either above or below the belt buckle, if worn... With sparkley trews like this though it would be rude not to show 'em off! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has 3 positions to connect at any times. Looks very good, but must be a big money as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks very good, but must be a big money as well. It is indeed a really great strap, feels extremely comfortable, even with heavy basses, and it has a relatively good grip as well, making it great at dealing with neck diving basses. And while you can get cheaper straps, and that it is one of the more expensive ones Harley Benton offers, it's not really expensive, in fact rather cheap for what it is. Harley Benton is a budget brand after all. It is 29£/34 Euro. Only issue I really have with it is that the memory foam doesn't seem to be covered/draped with another layer of leather or even just cloth, which I got a suspicion potentially could cause the foam to deteriorate over time being exposed to sweat and eventually crumble away. I assume though, and it does seem like it, that the memory foam at least has been treated with a thin protective film/layer of some kind.

They are beasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
