Maybe it would age like a white Rick.
(probably not a good idea)

lol! Yes that is what I was fearing.. the dirty yellow color. (Always turns me right off old ricks)

I think black may be the best bet, but I cant find one on ebay

"old hippie straps"

Those are the best kind!!!

I'm not sure what kind of strap mine is, or even if it's a "bass strap" . . . my grandma bought it for me as a Christmas present; she said it was made in a shop in California somewhere. There is a leather emblem stitched onto one end that says "STEPHI" in stylized script. I'm guessing that's the maker/company? I need to see if there's a website . . . it's a really nice strap.

*EDIT*: Make that CANADA, not California. Here's the website: http://www.stephi.ca/en_guitar.htm

On the first page, my strap is the exact same one as the fourth from the left . . . it's red and has black ends. I really like it.

Levy's 4" black leather straps! Extremely comfortable...Schaller straploks are also a necessity! A nice combination.

I go to the Thrift Stores and pick out some 2 inch wide leather belts, then cut one done a bit, hook them together and put a few adjustment holes in the ends, and it makes a nice guitar strap with a bright chrome or brass buckle in front of your shoulder for about 2 or 3 dollars. Very comfortable also..
