I don't really believe that some are made for "bass" and some for "guitar". They all do the same thing. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Maybe Brad but I played bass for 20+ years and never had a "bass" strap in all that time.
Maybe I did not wear it low enough...down around my ankles.... to warrant the extra length. |
