The best straps ever
If you are looking for great looking durable and comfortable strap for your beauty – check Italia Leather Straps. This is the best straps ever. I read a lot of positive reviews and bought one on eBay – the same seller, but much more cheaper. If you can show me strap that beat this one in quality and comfort and it will cost you $30 – tell me – I’ll take two. 
Here is some advices:
- Again, use eBay unless there are no such design you want – you can save extra $10 or $20
- 4″ is more than enough ever if you are 6’8″ and 300lb guy (like me). I have 5″ wide strap and it is ok, but I think 4″ version could be better.
- order “long” one unless you are short and your bass is above your belt. Spend some time with your old strap or piece of rope and think twice about strap’s length. For me “standard” is enough, but I cannot make it longer ever if I would.
- Be patient and wait – usually it takes 4-6 weeks to get this piece of art
Yes, and prepare for the smell of fresh premium leather when you open your package
