Actually I bought this strap a few weeks ago but was so busy that didn’t had time to brag about it, haha.
As you can see, it is a super wide leather strap, made in Spain by BOURBON STRAP GUITAR, the model is “Fat Bass Buffalo“.
It is 10 cm wide, I think the maximum length is 160 cm (that‘s 4 “freedom centimeter“ wide by around 63 on length, for you in the USA
).
It‘s super comfy and make the heavy Infinity and Corvette feel like if they lose half a kilogram. In fact, the Streamer feels SUPER LIGHT. My shoulder and back are happy.
Also, it kinds of solve the neck dive issue because the leather “sticks” to the shirt and didn’t slip, I was used to nylon straps and no matter how wide they are, they slip. Maybe that’s also one of the two minor downsides I could think of, because I’m so used to move the bass all over the place, and the new strap makes it a little difficult.
The other downside is the total length, since I like to hang my basses on the low side, and I’m 1,89 m tall, it is almost at the minimum length I feel comfortable with.
In a nutshell, my back and shoulder are happy, the strap feels very well made, good quality, and happy to buy local products. They take custom orders so who knows, maybe a “Nacho signature strap” could be coming soon, haha.
Here you can compare the the 10 cm strap to my old and trusty Planet Waves bass strap:
