Leather a little rough
I bought this because with the strap mounted to the fitted pin on the heel of the violin bass I find that the instrument rolls forward.
This strap definitely helps alleviate this problem as it hangs the bass from a more forward position with a much better balance.
Whilst the strap is extremely well made I shall never use it, simply because the underside of the leather is extremely rough and it would be like wrapping a piece of coarse sandpaper around the body and would cause damage to the finish. Also, the metal parts will rub on the bass at the tail-piece end and cause damage.
So, this strap, whilst very well constructed, for me will be consigned to a cupboard and never used, but it has given me the idea to make my own, using it as a template, but using a much softer leather.

Expensive but......
it looks badasss..... but if you really think about it it's really expensive for what it is... yeah but it not only does look badass it feels also so comfortable for a small light weight instrument like the club-bass in my case... yeah sure just a thin strap of leather that much. The point that bass so lignt you can hang it on whatever, this strap is too much..... but again it looks so badass.... your call

Authentic, but fiddly...
For that complete "Paul McCartney" look you need one of these. I bought one to go with my entry level Hofner. It does a decent job, but it's a little fiddly (the shoulder pad moves a bit and the hardware doesn't look too durable) but mine's lasted quite well so far.

Not as comfortable as I thought
The leather ring attachment was too short at the base making the ring scrap against the guitar. The strap was of good quality though. I need a more comfortable guitar strap. Sorry.

Not very good quality strap.
I bought this strap for my Hofner bass. I has a nice vintage look, however I was disappointed when the leather started to crack. I bought other cheap straps and I never had this problem. Really not the quality I would expect from a Hofner product...
