Question:

I just ordered one from the site Yvon gave me….45 bucks, 55 with shipping but I’m looking foward to it on my Lull. The Lull is not the lightest bass in the world, thats for sure!    Now I can say I own a Zon:-)                            Aloha, Jerry

Response:

I’ve been recommending this strap for years. It’s a pretty unassuming strap that’s supports heavy basses very well and pretty much eliminates neck dive. Mine came with my fretless. It is not however inexpensive ;^) I’ve tried the Comfort Strapp, I definitely like the Zon much better. Brad – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >OMG….we AGREE!

Thanks Yvon:-)                    Aloha, Jerry

Response:

The ZON logo on the strap is actually just engraved (branded?) and isn’t "painted" like you see in the picture, so it is barely noticeable unless you really look for it… — pd http://www.virtualitystudios.com

The Zon strap is excellent. It doesn’t look like it should be but it is, especially with heavy basses.

Response:

Ya think that would work with animals?  Actually my new strap has purple and green geckos all over it.  Hey, I could get a big ol’ iguana and use that for a strap.  That ought to freak a few people out. — Bud LeCompte

Response:

Can you get the Zon strap from the web site?                                    Aloha, Jerry

Response:

There is a yahoo web site where you can order Zon stuff. I almost bought the strap, but I bought a comfort strap instead. The Zon strap look good, but I had heard too many good thing about the comfort strap. Peter have the exact URL (are you supprised?;)) I’m sure he will give it too you soon. Yvon

Bought me a new strap today.  That’s right.  She’s a beaut! — Bud LeCompte

Response:

If I ever misplace my strap, I just sling my kid over my shoulder and have him hold the bass. Works okay, but I have to stop practicing for "potty breaks". ;) – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Bought me a new strap today.  That’s right.  She’s a beaut! > — > Bud LeCompte

I bought a comfort strap a couple of months ago, It’s the best strap out there. I haven’t tried the Zon strap yet though… ;) Yvon

Response:

Yeah – and their little fingers are great at holding on to various types of strap pegs / strap locks.  However, you can forget practicing after about 8:00 pm.  …and what about gigs? Steve

Response:

Well, for gigs, I just give him a set of ear plugs and duct tape his little hands to the Schaller strap lock pegs. That way he can take a little nap while daddy’s jammin’. ;) – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Yeah – and their little fingers are great at holding on to various types of > strap pegs / strap locks.  However, you can forget practicing after about > 8:00 pm.  …and what about gigs? > Steve > If I ever misplace my strap, I just sling my kid over my shoulder and > have him hold the bass.

Response:

The Confort Strap is AWESOME.  Should come with a Warwick Thumb.  I _barely_ notice the neck dive anymore.

Response:

Nice…. I’ll have to try that one…  my 2 year old is getting some good pipes from just being the guitar stand… the transition to strap girl should be relatively painless. Steve
