I recently acquired a '02 P-bass and decided to treat myself to some new accessories, including a strap. I sauntered over to Guitar Center on 14th Street. While it had a wide selection, nothing really caught my eye other than the rather pricey numbers. I came home and hit up Amazon to see what it had. This strap seemed perfect - wide but not too wide. I read the reviews and was concerned about the stiffness of the leather where the strap attached to the bass but after it arrived I experienced zero issues with that. I played a 3 hour gig a week later and was happy with the feel and how my shoulder and back felt after it was over. Looks good and a great price.
