Might be a little big but I'm flogging a Palmer MI PEDALBAY 60 - they're pretty cheap to start with so maybe a tenner without the case and £15 with? Stupidly bought the thing at the start of lockdown for a band I was joining, which then got scuppered by Covid.

@BleakRefs I could do with that. Where are you based? (if @Fatberg isn't keen)

starps.

i have a couple of shitty fabric ones that really aren't doing the majesty of Le Falcon any justice. what do people use?

I used one of the really basic Fender embroidered ones for years, they're actually pretty good IMO:

Assuming that's the same one I had. Think I saw Tom Misch using one (pretty sure he's sponsored by Fender though).

Most recently I've been using a Levy's Right Height in black cotton, the adjustability is nice and it's more comfortable than I expected.

I also have a Jaykco woven one on my Yamaha at the moment, it looks pretty nice, finishing is a little "handmade" and the inside is sueded so it doesn't slip, which probably wouldn't be to everyone's taste but it's comfy too. Mainly it just looks good IMO.

Wow. That pedalbay is a mad bargain and would actually be an upgrade on my shitty pedal tote main board. Fuck knows when I’ll be able to collect tho so happy to stand aside for someone in London. Thanks @BleakRefs

I've got these five lovely ones (attached image below) from L.M Products which I ordered an age ago, they're great quality and feel and look great although I think I realised quite quickly that the adjustability wasn't right for me (they're the type that have two separate parts and you adjust by separating and swapping the holes...)

I also have these other two lovely ones (attached image below) I bought from a store in Kyoto on a holiday and they're fantastic, adjustability is great and they look incredible although I reckon I may need something a bit more Japanese to wear them on...

I've got this Fender Modern Tweed one on my Jazz bass and it's probably my favourite of the lot.

The one strap I've been hankering for lately is the Ernie Ball Polyspun... it appeals to me no end but I've just not really needed a new strap, I'll buy one to put on my custom bass when ever it finally arrives...

Stop everything... Fender have got you covered...

Fender really do have some fantastic straps at the moment though... the Super Deluxe Vintage Strap would look perfect on a Falcon or if you fancy something a bit more colourful they have these lovely Serape ones or these nice Sonoran ones .

Oh man, I really like those Southwest Designs on the LM page (and your pics). Wanna sell me a couple if you don't dig them?

The Brown Ernie Ball one looks like a grandad's belt bought from a railway station M&S

I have Souldier straps on most of my guitars. Mixture of 60s Hendrixy patterns and a OWLS

Yeah man, which ones are your bag and I reckon I could bear to part with them to see them go to a good home 😅

Wow - that looks really good! And I bet it's even more sparkly in real life 😁

I'll do a video once it's back together, it's EXTREMELY sparkly!

Hey @BleakRefs hope you’re ok man. I’ll take the ribbon mic and the mig buff please. Will pay now and collect at some point when I’m out of tier 3 hell if that’s ok? Will PM you now.

Woah that prs!

That’s stunning!

That paint is kerrazy good.

Ha, beat me to that ribbon mic, been looking at picking one of those up but hard to find out here! Yeah, hope you're good, @BleakRefs... And terrific paint, @Nahguavkire!

It’s a thomann copy of the cascade fathead I think? Been hovering over buy on a pair of the proper ones for years.
