It's called Bass Tribal that i got online from a small Greek company called Minotaur. I got the first one from when I got my series II and when my other bass straps needed replacing I've used this company. They are thick leather and well padded and comfortable

This is the specific one I have on the Shorty.

it is extremely comfortable Rusty, and the thing is, that on that bass the strap buttons have been moved previous to my ownership. The back button is moved to the upper half of the bass and the front button is moved about an inch closer to the headstock at the back of the neck.

What is interesting about this relocation is that the bass sits more vertical than my shorty signature bass which kind of leans slightly forward from the top edge. However this new location makes the reach to first position a bit further away and I have to slide the bass back towards my body to reach the D-string tuning peg.
I think though I will soon put schaller strap lock buttons in the original holes and try the standard locations.

I tend to play mine on my right hip VS directly in front of me. I think I'm subconsciously trying to keep it away from my belt buckle even though I always put my buckle on the left side when I play.

Here is my next gig, standing in on bass for an all female band called EEEk. The current bass player, on the let of the picture, is on a round the world trek. then drummer, she played drums for my jazz funk band when our drummer was unavailable, guitarist, lead vocalist and backing vocalist on the right from New Jersey.
I've had one rehearsal with them so far and we may have a couple more before the gig.

Here are some links to the band.

Here is a picture from the gig. Not the best exposure but ok. I had a really great time and the band have asked me to do a couple more gigs for them so they must have been happy. The headlining band was "Never The Bride" and their bass player, who also plays bass for Paul Rogers, told me it was ok to use his bass rig. As it happens his rig was an ashdown...... I did however bring my F1-x in a rack and used that into the return socket and left his settings alone. I kept the my stage volume low and let the FOH do most of the work as it was a small venue.

When the main band came on they sounded great and bassie was using a 5 string jazz bass. Their drummer's mum sang backing vocals on some of Jimi Hendrix's records.
A great night was had by all.

So different from my regular gigs and a useful education in restraint. :-)

RV_bass, the bass is the one I use mostly for reggae gigs. It's a 5 string, all black, all maple apart from purple heart neck laminates, Europa with signature electronics and Elan neck. Great great great sounding bass and after trying my others at rehearsals and practice sessions I decided that was the right bass for the gig even though I never touched the low B.

Davehouck, the vocals are amazing. Check out this track called Fire star from their album Love, Loss & Bowling.

Interesting thing about that studio is it was the first studio I ever went into. It was in the late 70's when a band I was with was recording an album. When I got the album from the EEEK band at their album launch last year I realised it was the same studio and called the owner and had a good chat. Funny how things somehow come to a full circle sometimes,
