3.5 or 4 inch wide straps

Hi all,
I’m looking at buying a wide strap but apart from eBay, anyone especially the Aussies know whereabouts in Australia they can be bought. Overseas have them but would cost dearly in postage to have it delivered.
Thanks in advance.

Ebay is probably your best bet

Im currently using these

Thanks. I’ve ordered on eBay a 3.5 inch bass strap.

Nice one mate.

I would be tempted to change the strings on your new baby when you’re ready. I think you’ll find a pleasant improvement on the Artist Guitar ones

Sounds like Im too late but ive bought a few 3.5 inch padded leather straps from these guys. They are brilliant and it helps support a local Aussie business

Any strings you recommend?

Great site. A bit on the expensive side though. Gotta watch my pension

I’m partial to either of these although strings are a really personal choice thing

D’Addario NYXL are my faves too
