SomeIdiotDreamer Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I took the black strap off my RockBand controller and painted it. It's got S.I.D and my name on it in persian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Black goes with anything, just ask a female. It needs to be leather or some friction creating material...otherwise the headstock will eventually hit the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugatu Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I'd probably go with black as well. I'm having the same problem, I can't really find anything that complements my "natural" Sheraton. Black just doesn't seem to look right on a light coloured guitar... if I could find a nice mid brown leather one it might do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aharps Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Depends what sound your looking for. Black straps tend to give more bottom end to the tone. Those brown sued ones tend to lessen the sustain but give a great county tone. Gotta be one with skulls on it for that modern pop punk sound though, gives it much more bite. ](*,)/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Juju Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 http://www.sweetwater.com/store/closeup/L8BLK--Main http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/L8BLK/ I got the black one. However, even though it's "distressed," the brown leather showing through the cracks looks fresh and tan. I am going to experiment with a light coating of brown shoe polish and quickly wipe it off. Hopefully this will give it a more "aged" look. Other than it looking like a fresh manufactured distress, the strap is nice. It is padded with a sueded underside. - Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snookelputz Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 This was all a joke, right? You just put that up to get a rise, huh? Or, colorblind like me? That's how I buy good clothes. Look for the "sharpest dresser" in the men's department, tell him I'm colorblind, what the budget it, and (most important) what look I'm trying to get. People are always amazed that I can dress so well, and can't tell what color my socks are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually when I bought mine from Sweetwater I think I paid $19 of $20 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for a rock sound skulls will work but don't forget the spikes. I find the black leather straps with 1 inch spikes tends to have that harder solo tone that the rockers like so much.

snookelputz Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Don't forget the black-vinyl-with-lightning-bolts. Might not know more than one riff, but he can play it fast as lightning in any key you want to play. EDIT: Occasionally in several keys at the same time.
