We discovered LK straps when our Andy Dow (talent for our demonstration videos) was filming with us. The strap really stood out to us as it had a sensible width for playing bass, soft leather and a very cool look/vibe.
Bass players often think of straps as an afterthought...an aesthetic accessory. But the truth is, your strap is the cornerstone of your bass's ergonomics when you're playing standing up. The strap you choose can make a big difference in your comfort, playing experience, and even your health. A bad strap can cause your bass to neck dive and will focus all the weight of your instrument on a small part of your shoulder. This can lead to neck and shoulder pain and poor posture.
On the other hand, a good strap will distribute the weight of your bass evenly, help prevent neck-dive, and promote good posture. This can make playing more enjoyable and help you avoid pain down the road.
One of the best straps we could find are the straps built for us bass players from LK Straps.
These straps are made from reclaimed leather, which is not only soft and breathable but also environmentally friendly. LK Straps also come in a variety of distressed leather finishes that look as good as they feel.
Straps are all “One of a Kind”, since they are made from reclaimed materials. Not only does this provide a unique strap for every customer, the straps already feel broken in, because the leather used has already had a life before becoming an LK strap.
The Distressed Series of straps is one of the most popular models that LK Straps offers. Typically the leather from these Distressed Straps comes from old couches. Using the leather from all parts of a couch (back, front, cushions) gives the LK Straps a unique vibe and a softness which is unmatched by other bass straps.
