Vox Python Strap -- famous users?

[JakeK]

I'm only aware of two people who were famous for wearing the Vox Python strap:

John Lennon with his Rickenbacker 325/6
John Entwistle with his home-made Fender Presision bass (Frankenstein)

Anyone else?

There are shots of John Lee Hooker with either a Python or a very similar clone.

Thanks Scott, not sure what the heck I'm doing wrong....

Thanks for the responses, guys. I could have never imagined John Lee Hooker using one! I read somewhere Clapton used one, but I cannot seem to find any pics.

Bill: Let's say the Youtube link is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOyj4ciJk34

You click the "youtube" button above the posting text box, and in-between, you put everything after the equals sign in the link, not the whole link. In this case, it would be rOyj4ciJk34.

Kelly Jones lead singer from Stereophics has one.

Those things are super cool, but $300 for a guitar strap?

It should say Versace on it...That's crazy talk!

I guess most people buy them because they are trying to be John Lennon or whatnot...

Eh? http://www.8thstreet.com/prod.asp?pid=4 ... itar-Strap

They are super heavy, and could absolutely take a nice chunk out of your guitar!

oh snap! I stand corrected on the price (I swear I've seen them for much more somewhere before).

Still though, $119 for a strap is no bargain. That, or I'm just a cheap *******

I agree, $119 is not peanuts. Wish I hadn't sold mine with my old 325v63.

They actually are a perfect match for the 'Miami' 325s and look really great on them...of course they weigh as much as the guitar does. The reissues are a bit too long as well.
