Daddario 50CT00 Guitar/Bass Strap

I've always preferred cotton or canvas straps to leather or nylon as I've found them to be more comfortable when playing for a long time, particularly if playing heavy guitars like a Jazzmaster or Jazz Bass. The weave on the strap itself is thick and seems very sturdy. One thing that you should be aware of with this is that the buckles and strap end fittings are made of plastic. My other canvas straps have metal buckles which I know are strong; even though the plastic on this strap seems quite chunky and solid, I will be aware of going very heavy if using it live, as I have a fear that those parts could crack under significant strain - this is something that time will tell.
The strap ends seem to be made of a better material than most strap ends and are quite thick. The problem with these ends, as with many cheaper straps, is that the holes for the strap pins are not cut very wide, and so the width of the strap pins pushes the edges of the hole out. This is something that can be amended with an awl or knife, but I'm not convinced that the hold is very strong if I don't make that adjustment.

Hi,

this strap was recommended by the staff when buying a acoustic guitar. For this purpose it really worked good. It's a synthetic material which looks very stable. Only the holes in the leather are pretty wide.

A few days ago I got my electric bass and because i got no other strap, I tried it with this one. I really would't recommend to do this: The bass slipped out of the leather hanger at the end multiple times. This happened while I was only playing, I wasn't walking or jumping. Therefore I absolutely wouldn't use this strap at a heavy bass guitar.

It’s okay fort he acoustic guitar, but if I had to buy a new strap again, I would buy a leather one in the first place!
