Levy's4-1/2" Padded Leather Bass Guitar Strap Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Padded leather bass strap, 4-1/2 inches wide. For bass players carrying heavy instruments through long sets.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Long gigs with a heavy bass on the shoulder
- Players whose current strap causes shoulder or neck fatigue
- Anyone standing for full sets rather than sitting to play
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Light instruments where a narrow strap already works fine
- Players on a tight budget — this costs more than the basics
- Anyone wanting a thin strap that packs flat in a gig bag

Neutral onstage and hides wear marks that show up on lighter leather over time.
Detail 05
$79.99
Mid-tier pricing that buys real leather and padding rather than synthetic webbing.

- 02No strap locks included — buy separately if you want them
- 03Leather stiffens when new and needs some playing time to soften
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 4-1/2 inches too wide for a regular guitar?
It will work on any instrument with two strap buttons, but the width is aimed at bass weight. On a light electric it may feel bulky.
02Will it stretch over time?
Leather does not stretch the way nylon does. It softens and conforms to your shoulder instead of lengthening.
03Does this fit strap locks?
Strap locks are sold separately. Most systems replace the instrument's buttons and work with standard leather strap ends.
04How much length adjustment is there?
Bass straps in this class adjust for standing height. If you play very low, check the maximum length against your preference first.
