Stuff for my New SR5

[cgworkman]

Hello All:

This might be something that's already been addressed here - but does anyone know where I might pick up a fancy guitar strap featuring the Music Man logo, etc. to go with my new stingray 5? Also, any other accesories would be nice also.

Thanks !

You can purchase Ernie Ball Poly pro straps with the EB logo from our website, or a Musicman dealer

As petty as this sounds... But do any of these by chance have the Music Man logo instead of or in addition the Ernie Ball logo?

 

[jongitarz]

Chris...Sorry..Just the EB logo

[cgworkman]

hey no problem.... maybe some day...

thanks for your help

And! These straps with the EB logo are kind of skinny....like for a guitar player or something.

Jon, tell these guys that we are BASSISTS, and fiercely proud of it, and we need wider straps!

 

[Aussie Mark]

.... and longer, so that Bovine can stop playing his basses at nipple level.

 

[midopa]

Haha... There's nothing wrong with nipple-riding a bass!

 

[bovinehost]

Oh, make fun of me if you must, but there's no danger of buckle-rash on my basses.

 

[cgworkman]

Hey that alone makes it worth it!

Here's the most comfy strap I've ever owned. Padded and W - I - D - E! Add a set of Dunlop Straploks and you're good to go!

Thanks for thinking of me... But that's kind of rich for a "used" strap.... If it was new I'd jump on it in a sec!

Thanks again

Any of you guys use Schaller strap locks. I already have them on my 'Ray that I got yesterday. Won't hardly own a bass without them. Have them on all the basses and on all the straps.

 

[cgworkman]

never used 'em - what's the difference?

i've never had any problem with the originals....

 

[Mobay45]

Uhhh... The original what? Mine came with strap buttons, not locks. The locks are two piece. One goes on the strap and, with the Schalllers, it has a horse shoe shape that slides onto the button on the guitar. There is a spring loaded post in the middle of the horse shoe that locks into the button. No way the strap is going to come loose until you pull out the post to release it. I started using them after one of my basses hit the ground when the strap came loose. It happened while I was just standing around, not playing. The chances of it hitting the ground are a lot less when you are playing, but we all stand around just letting it our instruments around our necks between songs.

P.S. I guess I don't know much about the Dunlops since I've never used them and don't know anyone who has.

I recently got a set of the Dunlop Dual Design (?) straplocks, and I think they're great. Strap buttons appear the same as standard ones, but the connection from the strap fits inside the button with a ball bearing lock that is released by pressing a button...I know that doesn't make too much sense, but it's kind of like one of those two piece keychains....http://www.copshop.com/Merchant2/me...&Product_Code=CB-5607KT&Category_Code=PALM-SO ...yeah, kind of like that.

 

[Mobay45]

Now that you explained that, I do remember a guitar player having a set of those. For some reason I got started on the Schallers and that's what I've used since. I think anyones crazy to play without some kind of strap locks though.

 

[cgworkman]

is this what you're talking about?
