Flush straplocks

Jim Dunlop Straplocks they are. your... (or maybe a luthier's drilling if you are that paranoid) drilling is required.
 
I have installed them on my BO Thumb and it's kind of scary taking a drill bit that big close to my bass :shock: I use them because I can have to different spots on the butt of the bass to install the strap.
 
My Dolphin Pro I and my Streamer Stage I came with the flushmount Dunlops. I've been thinking about adding them to my Thumb NT and my Corvette Std. fretless because i like the sleek "trimmed" or "shaved" look they give to the Warwick bodies.

I know some people don't like the flushmounts because they're hard to fix/replace if they wear out, but I've had no problems with mine so far and they hold the pressure into the body rather than on an exterior pin that depends on a tiny screw...

With every advantage,comes disadvantage,grasshopper. :lol:
Seriously now.
With the flush mounts,the bass will rest on the wood,rather than the strap pin.But they look so cool. 8)
Dont worry about drilling the bass.There's already a pilot hole where the screw was & if you stuff it up,you can dowl the hole & start over.Just dont use a scabby old drill bit with an egg beater drill.Use some quality tools not from our grandfather's day. :wink:
