i agree with you 100000000% suede straps are the worst.a cheap nylon is the way to go.i'm always moving my bass up and down.if i let go of my SB450 it does dive,but i tend to play with two hands.
I like to wear my basses low and so does my former guitar player. The only straps which are long enough for my 6ft length (1.90m) are some F****r straps, some Get'm Get'm straps and especially those cheap nylon ones! I use one for both my SG-RI and T-bird.
My former guitar player needed a new one for his ES335. He went to a local shop and the only long enough strap was a black nylon one. He tried it out in the shop with a Heritage 335 model and the shopkeeper asked him which kind of semisolid he had: 'Epiphone? Ibanez?' My friend answered he had a real Gibson 335 and the shopkeeper almost wouldn't sell him this cheap strap;)
BTW: is this a topic about straps, indian woman, old women's hairdos, EB's, Buzzards, cross dressing or Kansas inspired bands? I dunno anymore;)
