Levy's M4GF-BLK 3.5-inch Padded Garment Leather Bass Strap - Black Reviews

3-1/2"-wide Leather Bass Strap with Suede Back - Black

Levy’s M4GF Bass Strap features an extra-wide, 3-1/2-inch leather construction and is perfect for bassists and guitarists who are looking for extra padding and support. The M4GF features a garment leather top and suede back with a foam padded interior that stays comfortable even during long gigs. Its distinctive square end maintains a low profile with an all-natural leather look, too. The strap is adjustable from 37 to 52 inches, so it’s suitable for low-slung bass players and for those who keep their instrument closer to the chest. Plus, the M4GF’s suede interior has a grippy finish that conforms to your shoulders rather than digging in. Grab a Levy’s M4GF strap today from Sweetwater — your back and shoulders will thank you!

Excellent Strap for Bass

By S P. from Fernandina Beach, FL

This strap is a great step up from my plain, thin Levy strap (which is not bad btw). The padding is subtle but effective and the leather quality is outstanding. It's easy to adjust, is pliable and comfortable. The suede backing is effective in keeping the strap in place. An easy 5 stars.

Bass strap

By Bruce from New jersey

The levy strap is very comfortable. With the suede on the inside it stops the guitar from sliding down on the neck end.

Perfect strap for a bass!

By Jim H. from SoCal

The cushioned leather strap is wide enough to provide superior support for your bass, but not so wide as to irritate your neck. I often forget it's even there!

An excellent product

By Bobby D. from The Beautiful Desert, Arizona
Music Background: Blues/Rock/OLD Country Vocalist, Drummer, Bassist

I recently acquired a new (old stock) Warwick Corvette Taranis Bass and wanted a strap for it that was quality leather, black, minimal in aesthetics, and preferably from the North American continent and without spending into the custom high end market...this strap checks all of those boxes. I've used it daily for a couple weeks now and I've found that it is at least as comfortable as the overseas 'comfort strap' I recently purchased elsewhere for my P Bass and looks way more like a serious component of a nice instrument as well. Total quality all the way and I'll buy the same strap for the next Guitar or Bass that follows me home. Many thanks again to Zac Coleman for all he does to assist, the man is a pro...

Very Comfortable enabling Hours of Play

By Anthony H.

Paired with my Sire Marcus Miller M7 Swamp Ash 4-string, this Levy's strap is very comfortable. A good value for a supple, yet strong grade of garment leather. I would certainly buy it again. The wonderful team at Sweetwater recommended this strap for my new bass.

Still the best leather strap out there in my opinion.

The strap width works well for bass and it has the the right amount of padding. It is easy to adjust and seems very well made. Just what I was looking for!

Extremely Comfortable Strap

By Peter C. from Rossville, TN
Music Background: Seasoned Amateur

This strap starts out very comfortable, and it only gets better with time. The more you use it and break it in, the softer and more comfortable it gets. I have 2 of them (one for each bass) and I can't recommend it enough.

I wish it was able to adjust to a longer length

Best leather strap I own.

By J M. from West Chester, PA
Music Background: Musician - Songwriter - Multi-track Mixing

It is not too pricey and overall fit and quality is great. I bought it specifically for a Gibson SG Bass that suffers from neck dive (they all do). It helps out a great deal. It is a great looking strap. Strap one on! What are you waiting for?

This strap is very comfortable and supports the bass guitar easily.

Excellent!

By Ed from Rock Hill SC

I was looking especially for a w-i-d-e strap for my Strat, and decided (again, with the help of James Masterson) that a bass strap would be the best. James assured me that the length would be fine. And again, he was right.
This strap is very well made and looks like it will wear a long, long time. Best part? It's very comfortable. It's a bit stiff now because it's two layers of leather with padding in between, but I'm sure it will "break in" in a short while. Thanks, James...just what I was looking for and very affordable!

Good Looking professional strap

By Brig Y.

Well built, thick leather, fits Dunlop Strap Loks perfectly (nice and tight). If you want to look serious about your art this strap will help. This is the right strap for a serious guitar and serious players.

Don't be afraid of the price, this strap is worth every cent, High Quality.

Long-lasting Comfort

By Sweetwater Customer

I wish I had purchased this strap years ago. Very wide and nicely padded, its perfect for heavy guitars. 4 stars only because it's bulky and not the easiest to fit into a guitar case but it will fit. Although it might be too wide for some people, the comfort of this strap is worth the price to me.

Love this strap!

By Val

It's the perfect length for me (I'm 5'1"). It's very well made and super comfortable! Highly recommended.

Leather - bass guitar strap

By Mark from San Diego, CA
Music Background: I have been learning and playing the electric bass for about one year.

After much research and being able to touch and feel the product while visiting the NAMM show I decided to purchase the strap. I have been using it now for a couple weeks And so far it has been great. Very comfortable, and because of the suede backing the strap doesn't slide around. It looks great feels great I'm very pleased with my purchase.

This strap was comfortable from the very beginning. I recommend this strap for anyone who loves the feel of soft leather on them. I know sounds weird, but it is true.....

not quite

By roger from atlanta
Music Background: pro guitar

its a good looking strap .. but they really missed the design aspect.

The 'pull' from the guitar goes right down the middle of the strap so the effective in use width is about an inch.

The sides are not supporting the guitar and since the strap is rather ridged, due to its double layer and side stitching, it raises off my shoulder and rubs on my neck.

It is two layers and they are the same length so when the strap goes over the shoulder the inside layer bunches up making it even less comfortable.

YMMV but a single layer strap or a woven strap is MUCH more comfortable

July 4, 2019

great strap

By Sweetwater Customer

I bought this particular strap because it's designed for heavier guitars, and I was hoping it would make my fender jaguar easier to hold. I can definitely tell it's supposed to go with a much larger guitar, but it is comfortable, and I can now stand when I practice. I did have some difficulty in getting the strap short enough to fit me, but all in all, it can go shorter (and probably longer) than most other straps I've seen.

Drop the Logo Already Levy's

By Brian

I would've bought tons of Levy's straps by now, but unfortunately they insist on putting a big logo on all their straps (some are VERY conspicuous). I don't even want a signature GUITAR, let alone an accessory like a strap. Lots of people probably don't care, but I would bet they've lost a 1/4 of their potential market from doing this. A shame...

Very Awesome Bass Strap

By Travis

Wasn"t really interested in those flimsily straps at the store so I was looking online for a really sold wide bass strap I"m new to the game so I wanted something for those long practice nights Levys pop up on my screen quality is top notch. Feels great on my end a must buy agian

Very comfy!

By Sweetwater Customer from Marietta, GA

I'm using this for a Les Paul Custom Guitar and its incredibly comfortable. I was looking for a strap that could alleviate some of the weight-pain from the heavy Les Paul's and this does the trick. It's thick leather and padding and has a great finish on both sides. Don't hesitate, just buy it!

Great strap

By Ron from Missoula MT
Music Background: Retired music educator

The Levy padded bass strap is a great strap. It's top is beautiful leather and the underside is soft suede--an unbeatable combination. Then it is lightly padded to make a really comfortable strap.

I got this strap to use with my 3 heavy musicman basses. The feel is comfortable and stable with the suede backing. Now I just got to install Dunlop strap locks onto it.

Levy's padded strap

By Dr.K from Augusta, GA
Music Background: serious hobbyist

I bought this strap to ease the weight of my 10.5 lb. Les Paul. It is by far the most comfortable strap I own. The LP feels a lot lighter and my shoulder is happy. BTW it is excellent quality and looks much more expensive then it really is. I will recommend this to anyone who wants to hold their instrument more comfortably with style.

So,So

By Sweetwater Customer

Ok, so I was looking for a nice, wide, padded strap and this looked really good. The quality is top notch for sure, but not really padded too speak of. Giving this strap an average rating just because it is being marketed as "padded" but really it is not padded much. I have seen some very nice padded straps and thought this one would be the ticket. I am still using it, don't get me wrong there. It is a nice strap and is very well made, just wasn't quite what I was looking for. This is one of those items I would highly recommend you buy at a store where you can try it, feel it, hang a ten pound bass on it to see if its what you want - then, maybe leave and buy it online. Just kidding - you wont save much buying online vs in store. This is a nice strap, just not really padded the way they make it sound.

Excellent

By Thomas M. from Houston. TX

Great strap, well made, very comfortable. Perfect for that new Precision bass I just bought from Sweetwater. I didn't put 5 stars only because it seems silly to say I was "blown away" by a strap, but it is a great, quality leather strap that is made to last a lifetime.

It's not a bad strap, nice looking. But any hint of padding is on the outside and inneffective.

Great Strap

By Joe from West Virginia

This is my second Levy's M4GF 3.5" Padded Leather Guitar Strap. I have a brown strap, and wanted a black one. Since I have tried this strap and like the quality and comfort of it, I went with what I knew was a good strap at a good price.

Comfortable, altough a little wide for electric guitars

By Sweetwater Customer

This is a great strap, well made and comfortable, reducing the heavy feeling of a solid body guitar on your shoulder; however, it looks a little too wide for an electric guitar. It looks better on acoustic guitars, but I see this strap more for a bass guitar. I think a narrower 2.5in strap would be better for looks AND comfort. Anyway, if you're going for comfort, it's a good choice, and I'm still using it on my Gretsch.

Very Comfortable.

By Joseph W. from Walker, WV
Music Background: Hobbyist

This strap is comfortable and looks nice. It's not a fancy strap, but is well made, so it looks good. I already had the brown one for my Fender, and it held the weight of my new Les Paul well. I got the Black one to match the Black/Silver Burst color of the Les Paul.

Great Strap!

By Jim R. from Texas panhandle
Music Background: Amateur, Hobbyist, Church music group.

This strap is well worth the money. The width and padding make it superbly comfortable for long practice sessions, or long gigs. The leather is of top quality. The strap is very soft, and keeps it's form/shape. So far, it's the best strap I have owned. I highly recommend this strap for anyone with a bass, or heavy guitar. I own a Les Paul that has not been chambered to reduce the weight, and this strap makes it as comfortable to wear as my Stratocaster, or any of my acoustic guitars. Buy one, you won't regret it!

I've owned a lot of guitar straps, never spent more than $20 on one though--I found out you get what you pay for! VERY comfortable, no adjustment issues. Worth every penny.

Very Comfortable

By Chris B. from Morro Bay CA
Music Background: Guitar & Bass

Great Strap. Very soft leather and the pad really makes a difference. The only thing I don't like about all rawhide & suede straps is that they tend to grab your shirt. If you move your Bass or guitar position a lot while playing, the strap does not slide over your shoulder. It holds on to your shirt and pulls it up or down. Other than that it's worth the price for the comfort. I have a heavy bass and I used to get shoulder fatigue with the standard 2 1/2 inch strap. I can play all day with this one!

Well-made, comfortable strap

By Fred from Virginia
Music Background: Bassist for 30+ years

Well, it's just a strap - but it is really well made and very comfortable to use for long practices and shows.

My only beef (and this goes for all straps I've seen) is that those of us who use Schaller-type straplocks (Rickenbacker owners have little choice) have to ream out the holes to make them fit. What we really need are straps with holes 3/8" in diameter, and no slots at all.

Other than that, a great strap for the money.
