How exactly did you get it set up with the martini glass on it? I'm dying for one of those.
Also, how short will it go?

I've got a bunch of straps in at least 4 different lengths. I wasn't aware there is a standard length strap for basses. For instance, Colonial Leather make them in at least 3 lengths.

Stanky, follow the custom strap link on the Dbl Trbl site. Once you're there, look along the bottom for the strap options. Beside the fonts option link is the graphic link. This will take you to another site (greatnotions.com). Once there, search for "martini". When you pick the design, keep in mind that it will be done against a dark colored strap so IMO, you shouldn't pick a graphic that uses dark colors also. I picked design # 366058.
Email or call with this info along with your desired letters (if any) to Nick of DT. I asked for "DD" to be done with traditional script which I thought was the closest to the one Scott used on the "Dargie Delight" logo.
The strap I have is actually being replaced. I asked for the "DD" to be done in green 1101 but it was accidentally done in silver. Nick told me that I can keep this one while he makes me a correct one which should be here next week.
The shortest length is 48" which to a 70" guy like me places the bass just below my chest. It is 56" at its longest which is probably Blink182 low. And that's what I meant by the length being the same as any other strap Mark. It pretty much places the bass along a certain range that other straps do for me.

Is there anyway they could make one that was adjust to, oh I don't know, 40 inches?
I play almost Jack-like.

I had to get a custom-made strap that extends to 60"! I don't need my straps quite that long, but it'll be nice not having to max it out. (I'm 6'1" & like my basses kinda low.)

I just bought a 53" Leather Belt and took off the buckle. I installed my Dunlop straplocks on there. Yes I know that the strap is not adjustable - but it's for me - no-one else and I know how long I wear my guitar.
The great thing is that when you take the strap off, there is no buckle to "clang" against your paintwork and chip the finish.
Cost =£6 !! (+ straplocks)
