Levy's Leathers MSSC4-BLK Bass Guitar Strap, Black, Standard

Easily the best strap I’ve ever used for bass or guitar. Super wide and comfortable

Great strap, nice and wide, super comfortable. The material deals with sweat well, and the strap is very easy to adjust.

The soft wide strap distributes the weight of the guitar and that make a huge difference.Much prefer this width to my other straps.

Good quality strap

I have a a peavey t40 bass which is super heavy. This strap makes it feel light as a feather. Fabric is soft, strudy, and doesn't slip.

I have a Gibson Les Paul Classic and, if know anything about guitars, you know that these instruments are a bit on the heavy side. This strap has taken care of that issue completely! Very comfortable! A guy who had written an earlier review of this product, mentioned that the logo on the strap seemed a bit over-the-top, kinda stuck out like a sore thumb, I suppose. I have to agree with that. However, there are three simple fixes for this: 1.) black, liquid shoe polish. A couple of coats works like a charm. 2.) Using an Exacto Knife, you can cut the logo patch completely off. 3.) You can actually order the same, exact strap with a black logo. Found them available on a major, online music store.

I have been looking for a comfortable bass strap with some grip.This strap is comfortably wide, but not too wide.Similarly it has some grip but not too much - from the heavy-weight cotton has just enough grip that I can't slide the strap over my shoulder without pulling my shirt with it.It is not too bulky like the leather straps, and rolls up small which makes it much easier to travel with and fits well into the storage compartment in my case.As I said, it has enough grip for me but it does not grip as well as the suede backed straps, but it does not shed everywhere either like the suede straps do, which earns it an extra star.This strap is also simpler to adjust than the threaded leather straps and adjusts from short to much longer.I also like that this strap does not have the leather hide smell that bothered me with the Levy's leather straps.The styling is understated, and I actually prefer it now that I see it in person, it lets the instrument stand out and since I rarely wear leather clothing the feel of the cotton is form fitting and comfortable, it even feels okay if I am not wearing a shirt.The end hole fit almost perfectly over my strap buttons without bunching, but tight enough, better than most other straps I have tried.Before this I tried several Levy's leather straps on my bass, including the padded "Levy's Leathers MSS1-BLK Veg Tan Leather Guitar Strap, Black" and "Levy's Leathers M4GF-BLK 3-1/2-inch Garment Leather Bass Guitar Strap with Foam Padding and Suede Backing, Black" but this is my favorite.I was going to give it four stars, but I can't find a single fault with it, so it gets five.

This is probably the greatest strap I've ever owned. It's comfy, really helps with distributing the weight of my bass guitar. If I were to give any gripes it would be that the plastic slider isn't metal and is somewhat difficult to move. But, that could also be a positive, because you don't want that bad lad moving at all.
