Minotaur Coat of Arms Vintage Red Strap

I've only ever used cheaper nylon straps, but I thought i'd treat my new Bass to a more upmarket accessory...
I'd heard good things about about Minotaur stuff, so I ordered the "coat of arms" strap. It was the best part of ten times what I'd normally pay, but I'm delighted with the result. It's beautifully made and well padded. You may struggle to get the strap over the strap buttons at first, but it fits nicely. You could use strap locks, but I prefer the "rubber washer" approach. Just be aware that at its very longest, the padded part doesn't sit as well on the shoulder as if you were to have it at medium height.
This is a well made and beautiful looking item - well worth the money

I bought this along with a bass guitar, and it is very comfortable. The padding feels great on my shoulder, it holds the weight of the bass well and feels secure.

The quality of the leather and the stitching looks really great, its a beautiful almost blood red with big black X's.

If you already have a strap, use that to gauge the length that you need as changing the length isn't quick. However Once it is set, it's set. Conveniently it has three holes for the strap buttons. I use the longest hole for when I am stood up, and the shortest hole when I am sat down.
