No guitar player knows the importance of a comfortable strap more than a bass player. The average bass guitar weighs 20-40% more than the average guitar. So, LM Products added 100% more memory foam and made this strap wider to better disperse the weight of the instrument. The strength and style of genuine suede leather combined with the pillow-like comfort of 1" memory foam deliver lasting comfort without sacrificing on style. Your shoulder will thank you!
