Heavy Duty Shoulder Strap: 

Heavy Duty Shoulder Strap for a double bass I am looking for a shoulder strap that I can trust 100%.

Ever had a niggling worry in the back of your mind that your shoulder strap might not be quite up to the job? Ever had doubts about using your shoulder strap after hearing about the nasty accident one of your colleagues suffered while going down a flight of steps on his way home from college. Yes - I thought so. Well this strap will definitely interest you, for it has been made from industrial webbing and heavy-duty clasps.

What is industrial webbing?

Well - just as it sounds - it's an incredibly strong, closely woven fabric that has been designed for use in industry. With a thickness stat of only 2mm - this wonder material is not only half the thickness of an equivalent leather strap - it is considerably (more than 100gms) lighter and much more flexible.

What about the buckle and clasp?

The buckle and clasp are heavy-duty stainless- steel. They are the same quality as those that you will see being used for the tack on exhibition Shire horses. Fabulous stuff indeed.

Heavy Duty Shoulder Strap close upOK - so its great quality but how long does it take to put on?

Once you've adjusted the length of the strap to suit yourself - fitting is secured in a matter of seconds. Slip the collar end over the scroll and position at the base of the neck, then attach the opposite end by drawing back the clasp and releasing so that it clips around the tail wire. If it looks likely that the clasp could cause damage to the varnish of the lower rib when clipped to the tail wire then as an alternative either clip it to the shaft of the endpin-unit tightening screw or to the shaft of the endpin (immediately above the collar or boot) itself. That's it, you're off to the next gig - no more messing about with silly buckles - this is quick, simple and safe.

Any more info?

Oh - I nearly forgot to mention that the well-padded shoulder cushion is fully adjustable. It measures a generous 235mm x 65mm x 20mm.

Summary

Probably the strongest, the best designed and the most well made shoulder strap on the market. This really is a shoulder strap that you can trust 100%.

Width: 5.0cm
