// At first, I wrote a not so favorable review. I take it all back, now I use only these straps (with straplocks) for my guitars and basses.
Update after three months of use:
1. After a while, this is my favorite strap. I use it with a very heavy bass and with a very light guitar, and it makes everything better.
2. Leather tips are not so bad. Tips are okay when used with strap locks.
3. The fabric of the strap itself feels very good and comfortable.
4. I use both 74T000 and 74B000, like them both. but the padded one helps so much with heavy guitars.
5. I had to do some modifications to make it fit better:
- I folded some length of the strap on the front to form a pocket for picks and sewn it like this. The strap was originally too long for me.
- I stitched the other side of the strap to hold the pad in place. Otherwise it tended to slide from the shoulder towards my back.
Update after two years:
I'm still using the same straps. They work so well.
