Stupid Strap Question but...

Post by godber »

...how many of you have got a Rickenbacker strap for every Rickenbacker guitar/bass you have. UK price is approx £22, it soon adds up doesn't it. :shock:

I've got two of 'em. Had to drill extra holes, they were way too long.

I do, but I'm on this side of the pond, and pretty much in RIC's back yard. :D I even have a couple on my Vox and Gretsch guitars. I think they're only $25-27 here. I think I might be a couple short once I get my refinish projects back, but I'll just order a couple more; I like to have a separate strap for every guitar.

I don't but I'd like to have one for all my small electrics (present and future). I like the design a lot, and they're not too costly. But I prefer something with a wider padding for a larger guitar, just for comfort.

1 maroon for my 360/12, 1 black for my 330, and really like them.

I did, however, got a very wide, padded, black leather Levys strap for my 4003, which ended up costing me twice as much.

I also have two--both on my 325c58s--Black on the JG, Wine on the MG. I think I have a natural one around somewhere, but not in use.

They're a nice vintage strap, tasteful, simple.

I have all three but I had to punch three extra holes in each of 'em --- they are too long, way too long. Don't know why RIC makes 'em so long to begin with, really. The slits to hook the strap onto the strap buttons are cut a tad long, too. I just wrap some dental floss between the strap and button to tighten up the slack. Keep on keepin' on.......Goofyfoot.
Play on, pick often, jam with any Rickenbacker, and prosper.

I have a blonde RIC strap, but to be honest, I don't get on very well with it, though i only used it on my 12 string. I found it slid too much in the shoulder pad for me, but I might try it again come to think of it :D

I did ask my brother who lives in Chicago to send it to me so it was ordered directly from RIC. It did save me money as my brother paid for the postage to the UK, bless him.

I do have a strap for each guitar though and the spare RIC one. I prefer the straps with the suede back, so they don't slip too much.

1 maroon for my Burgundyglo 330 & 1 black for my PT. I also won a vintage brown one called "The Rickenbacker No- Mishap Guitar Strap" on eBay a few years ago....very similar to an early Fender strap.

I have a 4" wide strap for my basses, Dunlop Straploks on all instruments, and move the strap between basses. I have an old black suede 3" from years ago that I use also, mostly on the non-Ricks.
