Highly recommended, especially if like me you own and use a heavy instrument.
The design and construction are great, the strap is definitely built to last, there's no way that this strap will break, sending your precious instrument crashing to the floor.
It is extremely well padded, distributing the weight of the bass or guitar evenly across your shoulders, preventing the strap from folding in and digging in to the muscle of your shoulder, something that can disrupt the blood flow to your arm, and cause extreme problems with your playing.
The strap is also extremely adjustable, so it's suitable for everyone from a low slung rocker to wanna be Mark King types with their basses around their chin.
