Bass Specialty Straps

Not all basses are created equal, and neither are their straps. Just as there are times when a bassist needs an exotic instrument, there will be certain times when you could use an unconventional strap as well. This selection of bass specialty straps is more than ready to help you out in those times, with a lineup of strap options fit for the most demanding situations. Whether you're playing a really heavy instrument, pulling long hours at a music festival or just looking for a way to make your bass more comfortable every time you play it, there's a strap here that can make your life a little easier.

If it's a comfort boost you're looking for, you could start your search with the LM Products Leather Bass Strap with Extra Wide Pad. The strap itself is pretty standard, but the shoulder pad is anything but: with its wide shape and thick fleece padding, it's almost like a pillow for your shoulder. Or, if you're looking for something a little lower-profile, check out the Neotech Super Bass Strap and the Neotech Mega Bass Strap. These are designed to distribute weight evenly with their wide, flexible neoprene inserts, giving you a cushioned effect without the need for a bulky pad.

Does your biggest concern involve the weight of your instrument? Maybe you've gone through a few nylon straps and your axe practically pulls them apart - if that's the case, the D'Addario Planet Waves Polypropylene Bass Guitar Strap could be the best fit for you. It's designed specifically to handle the demands of a heavy instrument. Or perhaps you're just in need of something to prevent your bass from falling over when it's leaned up against your amp. That's the perfect occasion for the Markbass Bass Keeper Strap. For these kinds of uses and more, bass specialty straps are ready to step up to the plate; all you have to do is take a look to see which one solves your instrument-handling challenges.
