Bass guitar straps

Yeah I feel like if it had metal brackets and not plastic it could be used as climbing gear :rofl:

I have tunnel syndrome, but I really try to play every day.

I just picked up a 4.5ā€ strap and it feels so much better than my old 2ā€ strap. If 4.5ā€ is too big then try a 3.5ā€. I wouldnā€™t give up on trying to find something thatā€™s comfortable.

Thanks everyone for your strap suggestions. The KLIQ Air Cell size small goes down to 38 inches so that will be perfect for me - but many of the nice padded ones donā€™t go that small. The other issue I have discovered is that my Fender Mustang PJ has a bit of neck dive, and that could also be making my strap pull on my shoulder and neck. I saw a guy on YouTube fix this on a Mustang by replacing the plastic knobs with nickel ones, and he also added a Dunlop strap lock - no more neck dive. Iā€™m going to do the same and see if it helps. It might even rectify the problem I had with the custom made harness strap from Slinger. Ahā€¦ so many things to learnā€¦the hard way, it seems. I still quite like the one from Mad Max though :rofl:

Available in only two variants ā€“ 2ā€ or 3ā€ thick

I guess they mean 2" or 3" wide. Also, air cell straps arenā€™t that unique. I know at least one brand (Kliq) thatā€™s had them for years:

Thanks John_E The Hangover straps look pretty too (pretty is important if you have no talent :joy:)

I have owned a KLIQ and it was just fine, good straps.

Western Tan Relic just arrived. Love these Pinegrove Leather straps. By far the most comfortable straps Iā€™ve ever tried.

I had one of these harness straps custom made - Iā€™m 5ft 2 and my bass is very heavy for just one shoulder. Because of my height the waist strap was way up under my boobs and couldnā€™t go any higher, so the bass sat far too low for me. It would have worked fine for anyone with a torso just a couple of inches longer than mine, so if you are struggling with neck and shoulders it would definitely be worth a go. The same company makes one in padded leather as well - but the price will give you a stroke and then youā€™ll never be able to hold that thing upā€¦lol. I hope this helps

Only one and while itā€™s not very fancy itā€™s comfortable because it has some ā€œgiveā€ to it which has the effect of reducing the dead weight on my shoulder. Each one of my basses has the same strap.
