Today, let’s expand your strap selection by introducing some interesting materials used in guitar and bass straps!

1. Get’m Get’m Straps / Black Faux Fur

The first up is a strap made from luxurious faux fur, giving it a funky look reminiscent of animal fur! Though it comes in a calm black color, its unique appearance is sure to catch eyes on stage! You might think adjusting its length would be tricky due to its fluffy texture, but it features a slide adjuster that allows for instant length adjustments. Perfect for those aiming for a classic funk style, regardless of the season.

2. Right On STRAPS / CORK / Black

At first glance, this strap appears to be made of synthetic material, but if you take a look at it closer, you’ll notice a texture like cracks (not a defect). This strap is actually made from natural cork. Used in wine stoppers and sofas, cork is known for its strength. If you’re worried cork might be too stiff, fear not! The strap’s back is made from microfiber, and the padded section uses 5mm thick latex to minimize shoulder strain. Ideal for guitarists and bassists who prefer a simple, eco-friendly strap.

3. Renegade / Shiny Vinyl Light Blue (85-0150)

Next up is a strap featuring shiny vinyl leather with glitter, reminiscent of the ocean! Designed and developed by the Australian company Colonial Leather, this series focuses on quality and cost-effectiveness. The back is made from common polyester, making it easy to switch to without feeling out of place.

4. Ernie Ball / 4146 Wide Neoprene Polylock ComfortStrap

This strap uses neoprene, a material known for its cushioning and stretch. Neoprene is a type of synthetic rubber also used in tires and wetsuits. Its high elasticity helps reduce shoulder strain, making it a great choice for those concerned about comfort.

5. Levy’s / M8SB-BLK Basic Seatbelt Black 2

Finally, from the popular strap manufacturer Levy’s, we have a strap made from a familiar material: seatbelt fabric! Similar to neoprene, seatbelt material is highly stretchable. It also has just the right amount of slip, making it a top pick for guitarists and bassists who value physical performance.
